Closing out 2021, Sam Allan turned to one of the era’s most recognizable rock anthems for “It’s My Life,” a modern cover of Bon Jovi’s song featuring Kris Kiss. Released December 3 through Future House Cloud, the track carries the familiar title into a house setting, adding an electro-leaning edge and fresh vocals without losing the song’s communal spirit.
The timing gives the release its real weight. After a year and a half shaped by the pandemic, Allan framed the song around lost time, missed memories and reconsidering what matters. In that context, “It’s My Life” becomes more than a familiar chorus in a new arrangement: it is a reminder to value the ordinary, protect personal ambitions and stop postponing the life one wants to build.
That idea suits Allan’s musical path. A New York native who came to dance music through club culture, he spent years developing a sound across house, techno, progressive and trance. With Kris Kiss, he recasts a well-known rock song as a contemporary dance record—accessible enough to spark recognition, but shaped around a modern club track’s momentum. For readers looking for both familiarity and purpose, this 2021 collaboration makes a persuasive case for pressing play.
