"It's My Life" Is A Song By American Rock Band Bon Jovi. It Was Released On May 23 2000 As The Lead Single From Their Seventh Studio Album Crush 2000 . It Was Written By Jon Bon Jovi Richie Sambora And Max Martin And Co-Produced By Luke Ebbin. The Song Peaked At Number One In Austria Flanders Italy The Netherlands Portugal Romania Spain And Switzerland While Charting Within The Top 10 Across Several Other Countries And Peaking At Number 33 On The US Billboard Hot 100. It Also Appeared In Mitsubishi Motors Promotional Videos From 2001 Until 2004. Background
The Song Has Many Classic Bon Jovi Features Such As Sambora's Use Of The Talk Box And A Line In The Second Verse "For Tommy And Gina Who Never Backed Down" Refers To Tommy And Gina A Fictional Working Class Couple That Bon Jovi And Sambora First Wrote About In Their 1986 Hit "Livin' On A Prayer". "It's My Life" Is Also Notable For Its Line Referencing Fellow New Jerseyan Frank Sinatra "My Heart Is Like An Open Highway / Like Frankie Said / I Did It 'My Way'." Jon Bon Jovi And Richie Sambora Apparently Had A Disagreement Over Those Lines With Bon Jovi Recalling I Had Just Come Home From Making U-571 And I Said "Sinatra Made 16 Movies And Toured Till He Was 80. This Is My Role Model." He Sambora Said "You Can't Write That Damn Lyric. Nobody Cares About Frank Sinatra But You." And I Wrote It Anyway. In Paul Anka's Cover Of The Song For His 2005 Album Rock Swings He Sings The Second Line As "Frankie Said He Did It My Way" Since Anka Wrote "My Way". Response From Fans
"Nobody Had Anticipated The Song 'It's My Life' " Noted Jon Bon Jovi In 2007. "Except Us. We Knew We Had A Hit." The Song Became An Anthem That Appealed To Many Fans. As Bon Jovi Later Stated "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." Music Video
The Music Video Was Directed By Wayne Isham. Will Estes As Tommy And Shiri Appleby As Gina Are The Two Main Characters. At The Beginning Tommy Is Watching A Video Of A Bon Jovi Concert On His Computer When He Is Ordered By His Mother To Take Out The Trash. Suddenly Gina Calls And Tells Him To Immediately Come To The Tunnel As The Live Concert Has Already Started.Tommy Starts Running Down To His Apartment And Obediently Takes Out The Trash. He Then Runs Through The Streets Of Los Angeles Up To The Concert Getting Chased By Dogs Running A Marathon Posing For Pictures And Jackknifing A Truck. The Video Was Inspired By The Film Run Lola Run. Jon Bon Jovi Met Estes On The Set Of U-571 And Chose Him To Be In The Video. The Music Video Features The 2nd Street Tunnel As One Of The Main Settings. It Is The Most Viewed Video For Bon Jovi On YouTube With Over 900 Million Views As Of November 2020.
