The Glamorous Life is the sixth and final track on Sheila E.’s first album The Glamorous Life, and, four weeks before the album’s release, The Glamorous Life was released as the album’s first single; it was, therefore, the first song to be credited to Sheila E.. The Glamorous Life was written by Prince, but credited to Sheila E..

In 1986, the Club Edit was included as the second track on The Glamorous Club Dance EP, a Japan-only EP of extended versions of Sheila E.’s singles.

On 19 June 2013, an instrumental rehearsal of The Glamorous Life was streamed live on 3rdEyeGirl LiveStream TV for 3 minutes.

Basic tracking took place on 27 December 1983 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (the day before Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar), and the song was originally tentatively intended for Apollonia 6, until Prince began to work with Sheila E. in February 1984, at which time he set the song aside for her. Sheila E. added her drums to the song on 8 February 1984, and with editing and mixing the song was then extended the next day to its 8:58 length, as released on The Glamorous Life album, to showcase her musical abilities.

Sheila E.’s vocals were then recorded in the last days of March 1984, also at Sunset Sound. The Glamorous Life is notable for featuring the first use of saxophone on a Prince-related track, played by Larry Williams.

The track also features the first released appearance of David Coleman (Lisa Coleman’s brother) on a Prince-related track, playing cello.

In 1991, Sheila E. re-recorded a 'salsa' version of The Glamorous Life without Prince, for a planned fifth album for Warner Bros. (following Sex Cymbal, her fourth solo album and the first album after she left Prince’s camp) called 'Fe'. This version, titled La Vida Glamarosa, and the album remain unreleased. Another salsa version of the track was recorded and released on her father Pete Escovedo’s 2021 album Rhythm Of The Night.

As a member of Ringo Starr’s supergroup All-Starr Band between 2001 and 2006, Sheila E. sang The Glamorous Life during the band’s concerts and tours. Three different live versions of the song performed by Ringo & His All-Starr Band with Sheila E. on lead vocals (in 2001, 2003 and 2006) were released on the band’s live albums and DVD’s.

In 2019, Prince’s own version was released as the tenth track on the posthumous album Originals.
