It's my life (song)[]

This is first single from Bon Jovi's album Crush. It was released on May23.2000. It was written By Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Max Martin.The song was hit #1 across several countries.

Jon Bon Jovi about the song: When I was writing "It's My Life", I thought I was writing very self-indulgently about my own life and where I was in it. I didn't realize that the phrase "It's My Life" would be taken as being about everyone--by teenagers, by older guys, mechanics, whatever. "It's my life, and I'm taking control". Everyone kind of feels that way from time to time.
