My Way


“My Way,” popularized by Frank Sinatra in 1969, is set to the music of the French song “Comme d’habitude,” composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François. The English lyrics were written by Paul Anka and are unrelated to the original French song. In this timeless ballad, Sinatra reflects on a life lived fully, facing challenges, regrets, and triumphs. The haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics have made it an enduring classic.
