Macdonald began to write "Life in a Beautiful Light" after having a "lovely year off" after finishing touring with "A Curious Thing". Having really no time to write songs on her second album why she was touring with "This is the Life". However, Macdonald does say that she feels that "Life in a Beautiful Light" feels like a more natural process. Two songs from "Life in a Beautiful Light" were begun before Macdonald's break. "In The End" was written with Macdonald questioning herself whether being a musician was a worthwhile occupation.
