We Love Life is the seventh and final studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 22 October 2001 by Island Records. It reached number six on the UK Albums Chart, with a total chart stay of only three weeks. It was produced by Scott Walker, whose own album 'Til the Band Comes In is mocked in the lyrics of the song "Bad Cover Version". Cocker claims the lyric was written long before Walker became involved in the album's production.

The songs which appeared on We Love Life only tell half the story of the busy songwriting and recording period which Pulp engaged in between 1999 and 2001. Album Title In 1999, there were rumours that Pulp's next album would be entitled "The Quiet Revolution" after one of the songs they performed at the time. In 2000, when it became likely that The Quiet Revolution had been dropped, the fanclub told people that there was no official working title for the album.

Pulp’s 2001 swan-song We Love Life drips with the exhaustion of a band that really had to rouse themselves for one more go. Considering how pained This is Hardcore sounded, this makes sense. That album concluded with frontman Jarvis Cocker bidding farewell. Tapers are over/Irony is over/Bye bye/Bye bye, he stated on The Day After the Revolution. It wouldn’t have been surprising if we never heard from Pulp again after that

We Love Life is the seventh and final studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 22 October 2001 by Island Records. All tracks written by Jarvis Cocker, Nick Banks, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey and Mark Webber, except where noted.
