What makes life ‚want‘ to survive and reproduce?

I‘m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have asked this myself for some time now:

I think I have a pretty good basic understanding of how evolution works,

but what makes life ‚want‘ to survive and procreate??

AFAIK thats a fundamental part on why evolution works.

Since the point of abiosynthesis, from what I understand any lifeform always had the instinct to procreate and survive, multicellular life from the point of its existence had a ‚will‘ to survive, right? Or is just by chance? I have a hard time putting this into words.

Is it just that an almost dead early Earth multicellular organism didn‘t want to survive and did so by chance? And then more valuable random mutations had a higher survival chance etc. and only after that developed instinctual survival mechanisms?
