"Livin' Right" is a song by American musician and singer-songwriter Glenn Frey, a former member of the Eagles. It was released as a single from his third solo studio album Soul Searchin' in 1989.[2] The single features the track "Soul Searchin'" as the B-side, which was also released as a single from the album, before "Livin' Right". Unlike the other singles from the album, it was not as successful as it reached a poor peak position of No. 90 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] but it charted at No. 22 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Having tried nearly every other way to feel good, we've wound up back in gym class. Who'd of thunk it!"[citation needed]
