"I Will Buy You a New Life" is a rock song by American rock band Everclear from their third studio album, So Much for the Afterglow (1997). The song peaked at number three on the US BillboardModern Rock Tracks chart, number 20 on the BillboardAdult Top 40 chart, and number 31 on the BillboardMainstream Top 40 chart. In Canada, it reached number 49 on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart and number one on the RPMAlternative 30 chart.
In an October 2003 interview with Songfacts, lead singer Art Alexakis said:
When Anna was a baby, me and my ex-wife, before we were even married, we would go up to this fancy neighborhood in the West Hills, and look at the houses. We'd get some hamburgers and drive around, kind of fantasize. And then one day after the success of Everclear I was able to buy a house up there. But it wasn't about the money, it was about a different kind of life, giving all of yourself to another person. It's the ultimate romantic song to me. That and "Good Witch Of The North."[2][3]
