"All In" by Lifehouse

Lifehouse began as a pop rock band named Blyss in 1995. Their lucky break came when introduced to Jude Cole, who got them in the door with a major label. Cole was so taken with the band that he's been a songwriter, producer, and manager for them for years. 

Lifehouse had the potential to keep rock's flame alive in the new millennium. Bursting onto the scene in 2001 with their #2 smash "Hanging By A Moment," the band was off to a great start. However, no other singles from their notable debut effort made the charts, and they suffered a sophomore slump with their follow-up record, which yielded only a modest chart hit with "Spin" (#71).

The band struck back with their self-titled third album, which produced a monster ballad: "You And Me" soared to #5 in 2005 and put the band back on the map...temporarily. The record failed to generate another hit, and their follow-up limped out with the awesome "First Time" only reaching #26 in 2007.

"All In" is the lead-off track from Lifehouse's 2010 release, "Smoke and Mirrors." Another hugely underrated effort.
