It's My Life
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
Commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
(It never ends)
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I'd tell myself
What good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
(It never ends)
I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
The lyrics of Kidz Bop's It's My Life are about the self-empowerment and assertiveness that comes with taking control of one's own life and making decisions for oneself. The singer expresses their love for someone but recognizes that relying on them for reasoning and decisions would not be productive. The lyrics suggest a theme of self-discovery and self-assurance, as the singer grapples with the balance between following their own path and being swayed by the opinions of others. The repetition of the phrase "It's my life" emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility and choice, and encourages listeners to take ownership of their actions.
The lyrics of the song were originally written by Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene of the English band Talk Talk. The song was released in 1984 as a single from their album "It's My Life" and reached number 46 on the UK Singles Chart. Kidz Bop released their cover version of the song in 2020.
