Gwen Stefani on trial from the music video The Australian Recording Industry Association certified the single platinum in 2004 for shipping 70,000 copies. The single reached number 7 on the ARIA Singles Chart, lasting 17 weeks on the chart, and was listed at number 81 on the 2004 end-of-year chart. It was more of a success across Europe, reaching the top ten in Italy, Finland, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden and the top 20 in Austria, Belgium, France, and Switzerland. The single dropped off the chart after 7 weeks. On the UK Singles Chart, "It's My Life" debuted at number 20 but was unable to reach a higher position until it was released with a remix of the No Doubt song Bathwater which boosted the single up to number 17. The Recording Industry Association of America certified the digital download gold for selling half a million copies. The single was more successful in clubs, peaking at number 16 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, and had some play on modern rock stations, reaching number 32 on the Modern Rock Tracks. It was moderately successful on adult contemporary stations, reaching number 20 on the Adult Contemporary chart, but had high longevity and appeared atop the Adult Top 40's recurrent chart. The cover was successful in the United States, reaching number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remaining on the chart for 28 weeks. On 9 December 2008 it was also made available as downloadable content for the Rock Band series. This version was featured on the video game Karaoke Revolution Volume 2. Jacques Lu Cont, the song's programmer, created the Thin White Duke mix of "It's My Life", which won the award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. The song was nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 47th Grammy Awards.
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. The band listened to hundreds of songs and narrowed it down to "It's My Life" and INXS' 1982 song " Don't Change". Baby., they decided to record a cover to avoid having to write a new song. Because the band was on hiatus, while lead singer Gwen Stefani recorded her solo debut album Love. No Doubt recorded a cover version of the song to promote their greatest hits album The Singles 1992–2003. "It's My Life" (extended version) - 6:14.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. There are two versions of the video for "It's My Life." The first, envisioned by director Tim Pope as a statement against the banality of lip-synching, consists almost entirely of footage from wildlife documentaries, interspersed with shots of Talk Talk lead singer Mark Hollis standing in the midst of London Zoo, with his mouth pointedly shut tight and often obscured by hand-drawn animated lines. The song is featured on Saints Row: The Third on 'The Mix 107.77' radio station. It also is one of the songs played during gameplay for Activision Anthology for the PlayStation 2. The song is also featured on the Rockstar Games video game for PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on the 'Flash FM' radio station. This time, the song was a hit in the UK, reaching #13, the band's highest chart-placing single. However, in 1990, "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 this time only reached #93. It reached #46 in the UK charts, but did better in several other countries, reaching #33 in Germany, #32 in New Zealand, #25 in France and #7 in Italy and was also a success in North America, entering the Top 40 in both US and Canada (peaking notably at #1 in the Hot Dance Club Play). 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 British synthpop band Talk Talk.
