No Doubt recorded a cover version of the song “It’s My Life” to promote their greatest hits album The Singles 1992–2003. Because the band was on hiatus, while lead singer Gwen Stefani recorded her solo debut album “Love Angel Music Baby”, they decided to record a cover to avoid having to write a new song.
