My Way is a popular song, which in its English-language version is an adaptation by Paul Anka of the French song Comme d'habitude, co-written by Claude François. It became the signature song for Frank Sinatra.
The lyrics of My Way picture a dying man, facing the "final curtain," looking back in his life and deciding that he is satisfied with the way he lived it.
"Regrets, I've had a few ... too few to mention...."
The song is very popular within the karaoke subculture.
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev once said that it was time to replace the "Brezhnev Doctrine" with the "Sinatra doctrine." That was a reference to the song My Way and to Gorbachev's decision that the USSR should no longer force other Warsaw Pact nations to do things its way.
