It’s just 23 seconds long, but the audio clip of Kris Allen’s first single, “Live Like We’re Dying,” should give his American Idol fans something to work with.

Listen to Kris Allen’s “Live Like We’re Dying” in the audio/video clip above – according to EW.com, “A 19 rep confirms that “Live Like We’re Dying” is indeed Kris’ lead single, and adds that it will officially debut Monday, Sept. 21, at 7:40 a.m. EDT on New York’s Z100.”

This clip was played today on an Arkansas radio station – it’s a cover of The Script’s “Live Like We’re Dying.”

I personally love it… what do you think of Kris Allen’s first single?
