"It's My Life" was the first single from One Love, the second album by Nigerian-Swedish Eurodance man Dr. Alban, and once SweMix put it out in Sweden in 1992 it went tearing across Europe. Alban wrote it with Denniz PoP, who produced it too, and the strutting, hands-in-the-air result topped the charts in six countries and stalled at runner-up in Ireland and the UK.
Then came the second wind nobody could have scripted: a 1993 TV advert for Tampax tampons pushed the song back into the spotlight, and it made the American charts as well. Australia got it all over again in 1994, riding in on the success of "Sing Hallelujah!".
