Time of My Life
Time of My Life is the fifth studio album by American rock band 3 Doors Down, released on 19 July 2011 through Universal Republic Records. It sits between their self-titled 2008 record and 2016's Us and the Night, and it leans on the alternative rock, post-grunge and hard rock blend the band had built their name on. It entered the Billboard 200 at number three, selling 59,800 copies in its first week.
The singles were "When You're Young", "Every Time You Go", "What's Left", "Back to Me" and the title track. The record also marks the end of an era for the group's line-up: it was the last album to feature guitarist Matt Roberts, who left in 2012 and died in 2016, and the last with bassist Todd Harrell, who was fired in 2013 after his arrest for vehicular homicide. That gives it a place as the final chapter for a particular version of the band.
