No Doubt recorded It's My Life as a cover of Talk Talk's 1984 hit, releasing their version as a single in 2003 during the band's greatest-hits era. Led by Gwen Stefani, the California band turned the synth-pop original into a brighter guitar-driven pop-rock track, and its confident chorus quickly became the song's most recognisable part. The cover has endured through radio play, throwback playlists and short-form video edits, where the familiar hook instantly sets a bold, independent tone without needing any explanation.
