Life Is Yours is the seventh studio album by British rock band Foals, released on 17 June 2022 via Warner/Transgressive/ADA.[6] The album was preceded by five singles; "Wake Me Up", "2am", "Looking High", "2001" and "Crest of the Wave".[7]

Life Is Yours is the group's first album as a trio,[8] following the departures of keyboardist Edwin Congreave in 2021 and bassist Walter Gervers in 2018 (though Gervers later returned in 2023). The album is also notable as the group's first time collaborating with multiple producers for a release, which includes John Hill, Dan Carey, A. K. Paul and Miles James.[9]

In December 2022, frontman Yannis Philippakis spoke to NME about a remix of the album by Dan Carey called Life Is Dub. Philippakis stated "I think he just loaded the album up on some decks, took some mushrooms and took the album into space!".[10]

Life Is Dub was exclusively released on 22 April 2023 as a limited edition vinyl to select records stores globally in participation with Record Store Day 2023.[11]
