"Got the Life" is a song written and recorded by American band Korn for their third studio album, "Follow the Leader" which was released as the album's second single on November 23, 1998. It was recorded in April 1998 at NRG Recording Studios. The band decided they would release the song as a promotional single after each member found that there was something "special" about the song. The single had "phenomenal success", and its music video was requested more than any other video on MTV's "TRL", making it the first officially "retired" music video.
