"Last Day of My Life" is a ballad in which the narrator realizes that he is not spending enough time with his family and friends; he comes to this realization after attending a friend's funeral. (Vassar was inspired to write the song after attending the funeral of his friend Robert Byrne, who co-wrote Vassar's 2001 single "Rose Bouquet".cite web |url=http://www.kxaz.com/nmc_country/news/9997.html |title=Phil Vassar Video Debut On CMT and GAC |accessdate=2008-01-07 |last=Haislop |first=Nel |date=2006-03-30 |work=KZAX] ) In the chorus, the singer vows to show more affection towards his wife, and love her like "it's the last day of [his] life".

After being asked whether the song was meant to be a life lesson, or a ballad about love-making, Vassar replied:

Music video

A music video for the song debuted on CMT (Country Music Television) and GAC (Great American Country), the two major country music television networks, on April 1, 2006. Directed by Ronan White, it featured Vassar performing behind a greenscreen onto which animation was projected.
