"Beautiful Life" is a song performed by Nick Fradiani. It was released as his debut single after he won the fourteenth season of the reality competition American Idol. The song was written by Chris Carrabba, Rykeyz, Ayanna Elese.[1]

The song was written by Chris Carrabba of the rock band Dashboard Confessional together with his friends Rykeyz and Ayanna Elese. According to Carrabba, the song was written in "a little bit of a vacuum," and how it came to be submitted to Idol was "still a blur" to him.[1] It was given to Fradiani as his coronation song. Fradiani first heard the song the day after making Idol's top three and recognized Chris Carrabba's voice who he said he was a fan of since high school. Fradiani described the single as "fun. meets the Goo Goo Dolls meets me" and he was happy how it came out.[2] Scott Borchetta, the mentor on the show, thought that the song won Fradiani the competition.[3] The song was released for sale after Fradiani performed the song in the final two performance night on May 12, 2015.[4]

Fox, who broadcast American Idol, used "Beautiful Life" as its official promotional song for its coverage of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[5]
