As someone stated they are 3 similar songs. First comes Bonnie's, then Bon Jovi's & at last Ankie Bagger. Desmond Child stated recently in an interview that he wanted to take 'If I were a woman' and convert it to a hit with Bon Jovi arranged different and that's how Bad name occured. Cause If I were a woman was a hit in France only

YGLABN is:
Cm Ab Bb Cm
Ab Bb Eb Cm

It's My Life is:
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Cm Ab Bb

Very similar, plus the melody is similar as well. And there are other songs where the similar progression has been used. It's just as close as these "plagiarised" songs are. Plus, the choruses are pretty much interchangable, you could put one chorus in the other song and it would still work, as they're the same length.

As a massive fan of Nightwish (at least until Tarja left the band) I can say that IMO, this song sounds nothing like YGLABN. Not even remotely.
Maybe its because I have heard the song heaps of times before, or because I am such a huge fan of the band, but I just don't see any resemblance at all.
