"Story of My Life" is the debut single of British singer Kristian Leontiou, written by Leontiou, Sarah Erasmus, and Pete Wilkinson. The song was produced by Ash Howes and Wilkinson and features backing vocals from Wilkinson and Erasmus. Taken from Leontiou's debut studio album, Some Day Soon (2004), it reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart in May 2004 and also charted in Germany, the Netherlands, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), where it reached number three on the region's airplay chart.
British columnist James Masterton called "Story of My Life" a "captivating" track and wrote that the song "catches the ear and the heartstrings from the moment you hear it".[1]
