Somewhere In My Lifetime is Phyllis Hyman’s third studio album and first for Arista Records. Six of the songs were on her previous album, Sing A Song, which was on the Buddah label. Skip Scarborough, who had written songs for Earth, Wind, & Fire, among others, co-wrote “Living Inside Your Love” with Renee Taylor, which is one of the songs that appeared on both albums. Scarborough also produced and arranged Somewhere In My Lifetime. Her core fans and R&B audiences were awed by her voice, despite critics believing that the material hindered her abilities. Black radio played “Living Inside Your Love” at night, usually during Quiet Storm programming segments. The song was one of many album cuts by Hyman that still built her legend, in addition to signature songs like “You Know How To Love Me” and “What You Won’t Do For Love.” Hyman’s 10th and last studio album, Forever With You, was released in 1998, three years after her death.
