In Europe, the colour version of the single had the same b-sides but instead of featuring a download of the video, the CD was an enhanced CD and the video was available right on the CD. This second version also featured a link to which you could download the video in low quality ( WMV format) with the CD. The second featured the cover in colour and had the b-sides “I’m Going Down (Live)” and “My Life ’05”. The first featured the cover in black and white and was backed with “Can’t Hide from Luv”. Both were released in a slimline jewel case and were backed with other songs by Mary J.
In the UK there were two versions of the CD. The song was edited down to a “Single Edit” of the track, and was released in the UK and Europe as a single. Blige took this base performance from September 2005, and added additional strings and vocals, as well as other additional music. For her album “The Breakthrough”, Mary J. That performance was released as a concert DVD and features the original version of this song. Blige appeared with them to sing “One” on that telethon. Their contribution was performed live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto Canada, where they were rehersing for the third leg of the Vertigo Tour. On SeptemU2 contributed to the Hurricane Katrina benefit DVD, “Shelter from the Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast”. My Life, nevertheless, emanates from some deep, dark place where both sadness and happiness cohabitate and turn into one single, beautiful sorrow."One" - U2 and Mary J. Blige's strain is sleekly modern and urban, and the grit in it comes from being streetwise and thoroughly realistic about the travails of life. Blige took a huge leap in artistry by penning almost everything herself (the major exception being Norman Whitfield's "I'm Going Down") in collaboration with co-producers Combs and multi-instrumentalist Chucky Thompson, and everything seems to leap directly from her gut. My Life is, from beginning to end, a brilliant, wistful individual plea of desire. The hip-hop part of the combination takes a few steps into the background, allowing Blige's tortured soul to carry the album completely, and it does so with heartwrenching authority. But it is some of the finest modern soul of the '90s, backing away to a certain extent from the hip-hop/soul consolidation that Blige introduced on her debut album. This certainly isn't your parents' (or grandparents') soul. The melodic sources this time around, though, are so expertly incorporated into the music that they never seem to be intrusions, instead playing like inspired dialogues with soulsters from the past, connecting past legacies with a new one. The production is not exactly original, and there is evidence here of him borrowing wholesale from other songs. Perhaps the single finest moment in Sean "Puffy" Combs' musical career has been the production on this, Mary J.
