However, they decided on 'It's My Life' after rehearsing the song with producer Nellee Hooper, referring to it as a 'feel-good' song. No Doubt were dubious about recording a cover and contemplated writing new material. ' A Question of Lust' by English electronic band Depeche Mode was another close contender. Eventually, after the band listened to hundreds of songs from the 1980s, they narrowed it down to two contenders – 'It's My Life' by Talk Talk and ' Don't Change' by Australian rock band INXS. Because the band was on hiatus while lead singer Gwen Stefani recorded her solo debut album, they decided to record a cover to avoid having to write a new song. The American ska band No Doubt recorded a cover version of the song to promote their first greatest hits album The Singles 1992–2003 (2003). Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone. US Radio & Records CHR/Pop Airplay Chart 'It's My Life' (Live from Hammersmith Odeon) – 7:58.'Renée' (Live from Hammersmith Odeon) – 7:28.'It's My Life' (Extended Version) – 6:14.The song is played during a dinner scene of the 2005 Nick Love film The Business. The second version, recorded at the behest of EMI, consisted of the entirety of the original video projected on a green screen behind Hollis on guitar and vocals as well as his two bandmates as they lip-synched and mimed the song, deliberately poorly and with comic exaggerated gestures. He keeps his hands in his coat pockets and his mouth pointedly shut tight, the latter often obscured by hand-drawn animated lines that occasionally appear in the documentary footage sequences as well. The first, envisioned by director Tim Pope as a statement against the banality of lip-synching, consists almost entirely of footage from the 1979 BBC wildlife documentary Life on Earth, interspersed with shots of Talk Talk lead singer Mark Hollis standing in various places throughout the London Zoo.

There are two versions of the video for 'It's My Life'. This time, the song was a hit in the UK, reaching number 13, the band's highest chart-placing single in its native country. In 1990, however, 'It's My Life' was reissued again to promote the compilation album Natural History: The Very Best of Talk Talk. The single was re-released in the UK in 1985, but only peaked at 93. It peaked at number 1 on the US Dance Club Songs chart. In North America, it entered the Top 40 in both the United States (at number 31) and Canada (at number 30). It reached number 46 on the UK Singles Chart, but did better in several other countries, reaching number 33 in Germany, number 32 in New Zealand, and number 25 in France.

Written by Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene, it was the title track on the band's second album and released as its first single in January 1984. ' It's My Life' is a song by the English new wave band Talk Talk.
