"Times of Your Life" is the title of a popular song and advertising jingle made famous in the 1970s by Canadian-born singer Paul Anka. It was written by Roger Nichols and Bill Lane.

Kodak film created an advertising campaign in 1975 that featured Anka singing a jingle entitled "Times of Your Life". While the tune was being heard across the United States as a commercial, Anka decided to record the tune and release it as a single in late 1975. The song became a hit in the US, reaching #7 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in February 1976 and remaining in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. [Whitburn, Joel (2004). "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits", 8th Edition (Billboard Publications)] The previous month, "Times of Your Life" had spent one week atop the "Billboard" adult contemporary chart, Anka's only recording to do so.Hyatt, Wesley (1999). "The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits" (Billboard Publications)]

Anka began including the song in his concert appearances, particularly during his shows in Las Vegas, Nevada. The performance of the song is often accompanied by a video montage featuring Anka and his family and friends.
