On May 8, 2000, 26 years ago today, Bon Jovi experienced a revival with the release of their high-energy everyman anthem, “It’s My Life.” The millennial tune gave the band their biggest hit in more than a decade.
Serving as the lead single from their Crush album — the band’s first collection of five years — “It’s My Life” didn’t go No. 1 in the U.S. The track only reached No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming a Top 40 hit. Despite not topping the chart, the tune soared to No. 1 in several other countries, including Austria, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and many others, introducing the band to a new generation on a global scale.
What made this track different from Bon Jovi’s earlier hits is that lead singerJon Bon Joviand guitarist Richie Sambora turned to highly respected Swedish hitmaker Max Martin (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys) to help in co-penning the lyrics for “It’s My Life.” Martin’s assistance added a modern lyrical pop layer to their already timeless rock sound.
Easter Eggs
Of course, “It’s My Life” remained firmly rooted in the iconic Bon Jovi sound fans have come to love. It brought back the nostalgia of Sambora’s signature talk–box guitar, which can be heard on Bon Jovi’s second consecutive ‘80s hit “Livin’ On A Prayer.” Detailed listeners will also spot a few more easter eggs, as the lyrics to “It’s My Life” recall the blue-collar characters, Tommy and Gina, from “Livin’ On A Prayer.” Additionally, Jon Bon Jovi throws a thoughtful nod to his musical hero, Frank Sinatra, singing the line: “Frankie said,‘I did it my way,’ acknowledging the Jazz singer’s success.
“That was from New Jersey’s most famous son, Frank Sinatra,” Jon Bon Jovi confirmed of the lyrics while opening up about the track during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “....I had to fight really hard for that lyric. Richie said to me, ‘What is Frankie, and what does it matter?’ I said, ‘Well, because much like Frankie, I’m gonna make movies when I want, records when I want, and this is how I’m feeling.”
He added, “I won the argument simply because I had to sing the song every night.”
