It's My Life

"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. The song was a hit in most of the European countries where it was released, peaking at number one in Sweden, Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium and number two 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 (as it was in the UK in 1992), thus giving to the single a second career. According to Infodisc website, about 91,000 copies of the single were sold in France. The song also charted in the U.S. where it reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs, number 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales and number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also featured in the 1993 Bollywood film Baazigar.
