"Don't Give Me Your Life" is a 1995 song recorded by the Italian electronic dance group Alex Party. It is produced by Italian producer brothers Paolo and Gianni Visnadi, and DJ Alex Natale. The song is widely regarded as one of the biggest dance anthems of the 1990s.

Background

Paolo and Gianni Visnadi, together with DJ Alex Natale,wanted to create something more oriented to the underground scene, but then they decided to add a voice. They were introduced to British singer Robin 'Shanie' Campbell through their label. The quartet's varied experiences gave "Don't Give Me Your Life" a unique sound and a sophisticated flare compared to the other stomping grooves at the time. The means of productions back then were not like today, and the production phase was actually more challenging. The hardest part was the huge amount of work during the assembly, once the vocals were recorded on tape. After that, every single phrase from the vocals was sampled individually and controlled via midi with an Atari computer.[1]

Singer Robin Campbell wrote the lyrics. It tells the story of a woman that tells her man that she don't need him anymore. He has been treating her badly, cheating on her and she've had enough, telling him that she don't need his love/life.

Release

"Don't Give Me Your Life" reached #2 in Ireland, Israel, Scotland and the United Kingdom (their highest charting hit in those countries). In the UK it was held off reaching number one by Celine Dions "Think Twice". "Don't Give Me Your Life" also peaked at #6 in Iceland and #13 in Australia, plus it topped the Club Record category at Music Week's 1995 Awards. And at the European Eurochart Hot 100 it reached #9. The song was included in many compilation albums all over the world, and remains the most famous release by Alex Party.

"Don't Give Me Your Life" was re-released in 1999 which included new mixes and a full length bonus track Megamix from 1996.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "...This popular U.K. import, is showing early signs of widespread approval from a variety of dance programmers. Producer Visnadi and Alex Natale offer a jumpy bassline and carnival-like keyboards, while resident singer Shanie bumps and grinds with giddy abandon. The chorus will have you reaching for your tambourine and platform boots..."[2]Music & Media wrote: "Vocals by Shanie, rap by Danny Johnston; assemble these two elements and you get one of the catchiest Euro tracks currently available."[3]
