about this song
“Life in the Fast Lane” is a song by American rock band Eagles, released in May 1977 as the third single from their landmark album Hotel California (1976). Written by Joe Walsh, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey, the song is one of the band’s hardest-rocking tracks and has become one of their signature hits. Background The song’s inspiration reportedly came from a conversation between Glenn Frey and a drug dealer who said, “Life in the fast lane,” prompting Frey to jot the phrase down as a potential song title.
