Bowen's vision for the rest of the album was to mirror "That's Life" onto the other songs so they all sounded similar, rather than fill it with what he viewed as typical Sinatra-style songs. This was as a result of his work on the "Strangers in the Night" album, where Bowen felt that the titular single did not match the rest of the album, which was more of a classic Sinatra sound. So for the "That's Life" album, the other album tracks had similar brass accompaniments.
