What song by Lifehouse debuted on the Billboard Top 100 in February of 2008?

The story behind the answer

The Lifehouse song that debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2008 was “Whatever It Takes.” It entered the chart at number 97 for the week of February 2, 2008.

The track came from Lifehouse’s third studio album, Who We Are, which was released in 2007. Written by lead vocalist Jason Wade with Jude Cole and John Hauser, “Whatever It Takes” combines the band’s alternative-rock sound with a polished, radio-friendly arrangement.

Lifehouse had already established a strong presence on the Billboard charts with earlier songs such as “Hanging by a Moment,” “You and Me,” and “Blind.” “Whatever It Takes” followed that run, although its Hot 100 performance was more modest than the band’s biggest breakthrough hits.

The title can be confused with similarly named songs by other artists, but the Lifehouse recording is the one associated with the February 2008 Billboard debut. It was also released as a single from Who We Are, helping extend the album’s commercial life after its 2007 launch.
