who wrote my way song

The classic song “My Way,” made famous by Frank Sinatra, has a split authorship:

  • The original French song, “Comme d’habitude,” was composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut.
  • The English adaptation “My Way” features new English lyrics written by Paul Anka, using the same melody from “Comme d’habitude.”

So if you’re asking “who wrote ‘My Way’?” in the Sinatra sense, the English lyrics were written by Paul Anka, while the underlying melody comes from Jacques Revaux, with the original French lyricists Claude François and Gilles Thibaut.
