"She's Out of My Life" was notably covered as a duet by American country music artists Johnny Duncan and Janie Fricke. For the duet, the song was re-titled to "He's Out of My Life". The pair began recording together when Fricke appeared as a background vocalist on several of Duncan's late 1970s country hits. Her uncredited background vocals led to her own contract with Duncan's label (Columbia Records). In 1980, Duncan and Fricke went into the studio to record their first studio album as a duet pair. Their sessions that year also included "He's Out of My Life". It was recorded at the Columbia Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The session took place in May 1980 and was produced by Billy Sherrill.<ref name="Liner Notes 2">{{cite journal |last1=Duncan |first1=Johnny |last2=Fricke |first2=Janie |title=Nice 'n' Easy (LP Liner Notes and Album Information) |journal=Columbia Records |date=October 1980 |id=JC-36780/PCT-36780}}</ref> Release and chart performance In August 1980, "She's My Out of My Life" was released as a single on Columbia Records, crediting both Duncan and Fricke.
