"It's My Life" is a 1992 song recorded by the Sweden-based musician and producer Dr Alban. It was the first single from his second studio album One Love. Released in 1992, "It's My Life" is probably the most famous song of this artist.
The song was a hit in most of the European countries where it was released, peaking at #1 in Sweden, Austria and Germany, and #2 in the UK. In France, the song was marketed twice : first in 1992, then in 1993 because the song was used in a TV advert for feminine hygiene accessories, thus giving to the single a second career[1].
