"Give My Life" is a song written by Alexander Bard and Tim Norell from Norell Oson Bard and Jean-Pierre Barda. It was recorded by the Swedish group Army of Lovers, and released in September 1995 by Stockholm Records as the first single from their first compilation album, Les Greatest Hits (1995). It also was their first single after the return of La Camilla Henemark to the group, scoring a 1995/1996 hit.[2] The single charted for 18 weeks in Sweden and 23 weeks in the Netherlands. It also charted on the Swedish Trackslistan and reached number 135 on the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Now the prodigal daughter has returned to the line-up, and to judge by airplay action in Finland, Denmark, Germany and Austria, the new single 'Give My Life' is bound to become their biggest hit since 'Crucified' (1991) and 'Obsession' (1992). [...] The new single, one of the five new tracks on the 18-track album, marks a new stylistic element—African high life music, which blends very well with their trademark pop dance style. Lots of stations are expected to surrender to this army."[1]
