Bon Jovi released It's My Life in 2000 as the lead single from their album Crush, with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Max Martin sharing the writing credit. The song marked a commercial comeback for the band after their 1980s peak, reaching a new generation through radio, television and later streaming. Its chorus, built around self-determination and living without regret, helped it endure as a stadium and workout staple. Online, short excerpts now circulate as shorthand for confidence, persistence and a fresh start.
