Answer 2

'Talk Talk' made the orginal version. It's My Life" is a synthpop song written by Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene for Talk Talk's second album It's My Life (1984). The song was the first collaboration between Hollis and Friese-Greene.[1] "It's My Life" was released as the album's lead single in January 1984 (see 1984 in music), which started their drift from straightforward New Romantic sound into more experimental albums. Both the song and the album are synthpop, but their instrumentation is richer than in the debut album. The single went #46 in UK charts - a relative disappointment - but reached #31 in the U.S. and Netherlands charts, #33 in Germany, #25 in France and #7 in Italy (where Talk Talk had a huge success).
No Doubt recorded a cover version of the song to promote its compilation album The Singles 1992-2003. Because the band was taking a break while lead singer Gwen Stefani recorded her solo debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., it decided to do a cover to avoid having to write a new song.[2] The band listened to hundreds of songs and narrowed it down to "It's My Life" and INXS' 1982 song "Don't Change".[3] No Doubt had doubts on recording a cover and contemplated writing new material.[2] However, it decided on "It's My Life" after rehearsing the song with producer Nellee Hooper,[3] referring to it as a "feel good" song.[2] The song was nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 47th Grammy Awards but lost to Los Lonely Boys' "Heaven".[4] Jacques Lu Cont, the song's programmer, created the Thin White Duke mix of "It's My Life", which won the award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical.[5]

Answer 5

do you mean this one?


Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends


if so, the original was by Talk Talk, but No Doubt did a cover. I personally liked Gwen singing it better, but the original was cool too.
