The song is shared with VersVs who took on their own interpretation of the track. ZeXzy comments on the release, “‘LIVE” was an unconscious creation made from an overflowing subconscious mind that was so pained at the time. It was the 16th of February, 2023 and my producer was making beats for a song and I just started singing “I choose to live” on the beat. It sounded nice and everybody seemed to feel its depth, so I picked my phone up and recorded the tune. I had the song written and on the 27th of March, 2023 we started production on the track, and in a few days I recorded it.”

Monograms appear and disappear from his own picture before submerging into a performance like a dream. The song’s rolling guitars, driving, syncopated beat, and unique vocals are all enhanced by this visual.
