It's My Life is the second studio album by Talk Talk, released in 1984.

It was a Top 5 hit album in several European countries,[1] thanks to the big international success of its singles (notably "Such a Shame"), but it only reached #35 in the UK Top 40 chart.[2] In the United States, the album just missed the Top 40, reaching #42.

It's My Life was particularly successful in the Netherlands, reaching n°3 and staying in the charts for 64 weeks between 1984 and 1986.[3]
