Background and writing

When asked about the first A-side single, "It's My Life", Yui responded with that song was created with the feeling in supporting people during hardships.[1] She also connected this with the early part of her life, when she decided to quit school and to undertake the path of music. Furthermore, in reflecting the song, Yui also talked about the fun part about being a musician, such as receiving goodwill messages or meeting a variety of people.[1]

Promotion and tie-ins

The A-side, "Your Heaven", was tied to Sony Walkman's "PlayYou" commercials, and other A-side was used as Japanese company, U-Can's campaign song for the 2011 year.[2] In addition to the "Your Heaven" music video provided in the CD+DVD version of the single, a short movie was also included showing Yui's visit to Sweden for the shooting of the music video.
