"In My Life" is a song by American rapper Juvenile and the lead single from his sixth studio album Juve the Great (2003). It features American rapper Mannie Fresh, who also produced the song.

Composition

The song is about Juvenile's lifestyle of hedonism. Mannie Fresh performs the chorus.

Critical reception

Writing for USA Today, Steve Jones commented that Mannie Fresh's "hard-grooving beats pulse under songs such as the autobiographical 'In My Life'". Matt Cibula of PopMatters regarded the song as the "centerpiece" of Juve the Great, adding that "The ostensible subject of it all is how Juve and Mannie want to live big-baller lives and just don't care about anything anyone says, but the real subject is how Mannie's tones are turned to drones by Watts' meddling."
