Time of My Life is the tenth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Ronan Keating. The album was released on 12 February 2016 by Decca Records.
In July 2014, Ronan Keating revealed that he had signed a new three album contract with Decca Records, saying: "Maybe I'm not valid but that's fine, I’m valid to myself, my family and the people who like my music."[3] Ronan Keating announced the album on 25 November 2015 writing: "It's taken a year to write but in that time I have given the most honest piece of me."[4] Keating has said the album was inspired by his wife Storm Uechtritz, whom he married in August 2015: "I think it's my best yet. I’m in a great headspace, the songs are all very optimistic and positive. I'm at this place in my life, I feel very secure. It’s all optimism and hope – it's because of this woman. I feel very lucky."[5]
Time of My Life is Ronan Keating's first studio album in four years (since 2012's Fires), which is the longest span between two albums. Keating has said the album took a year to write and record: "It’s the longest I’ve ever spent making a record so it was a real pleasure to have the time to write and record without the pressure of having to rush to meet a particular deadline."[6]
Ronan Keating said of the title, which comes from the song of the same name: "I threw around different ideas. It was gonna be Breathe, it was gonna be In Your Arms, and Time of My Life just felt right because I definitely feel I'm in my prime, you know—the best time in my life. And this albums reflects that."[7]
