It's My Life (Talk Talk song)

"It's My Life" is a song by the English band Talk Talk. Written by Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene, it was the title track on the band's second album, It's My Life (1984), and released as its first single on 3 January 1984. It reached number 46 on the UK Singles Chart but did better in several other countries, reaching number 33 in Germany, number 32 in New Zealand, number 25 in France, number nine in Italy and number 30 in Canada. In the United States, the song peaked at number one on the Billboard Dance/Disco Top 80 chart. It was the group's only top-40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, making Talk Talk a one-hit wonder in the US.

The single was re-released in the UK in 1985 but stalled at number 93. In May 1990, however, "It's My Life" was reissued again to promote the compilation album Natural History: The Very Best of Talk Talk. This time, the song was a hit in the UK, reaching number 13, the band's highest chart-placing single in their native country. In 2003, the American rock band No Doubt released a cover version that became a hit in several countries, including the US, where it reached number 10 on the Hot 100.
