Nas' divorce from singer Kelis (photographed in 2010) inspired much of the album. In 2020, the Recording Industry Association of America awarded Life Is Good a Gold certification. Three singles were released in its promotion - " Nasty", " The Don", and " Daughters" - along with five music videos, while Nas toured in further support of the album from June to December 2012.

Life Is Good received widespread critical acclaim and gave Nas his sixth album is his career to chart at number one on the US Billboard 200, reaching 354,000 copies sold by 2013. Life Is Good was written after his divorce from singer Kelis, whose original green wedding dress was featured in the cover photo, and Nas has compared the album to Marvin Gaye's 1978 divorce-inspired album Here, My Dear. Nas wanted to draw on 1980s hip hop influences in order to complement the nostalgic tone of his lyrics, which he used to vent personal feelings and address moments in his life and rapping career, lending it themes of nostalgia and adulthood. and Salaam Remi incorporated orchestral elements and musical references to both contemporary and golden age hip hop, including boom bap beats and old school samples. Blige, Miguel, and, posthumously, Amy Winehouse, among others. The album was recorded at various studios in New York and California, with guest appearances from rappers Large Professor and Rick Ross, and singers Mary J. Life Is Good is the eleventh studio album by American rapper Nas, released on Jby The Jones Experience and Def Jam Recordings.
