Herein, who sang my way first Elvis or Frank Sinatra?
'My Way' was originally titled, 'Comme d'Habitude', the song was written by Gilles Thibault, J. Claude Francois and Jacques Revaux in 1967. Two years later, Paul Anka used the melody and wrote English lyrics with Frank Sinatra in mind. Sinatra had a major hit with the song, and it became known as a Sinatra hit.
Subsequently, question is, why did Frank Sinatra write my way? Paul Anka discovered this song while visiting France and re-wrote the lyrics as "My Way" when he returned to New York. Anka's lyrics changed the meaning to be about a man looking back fondly on a life he lived on his own terms, and Sinatra's version became one of his signature songs.

Fifty years ago, in March 1969, Frank Sinatra released a single that would become regarded as one of his signature tunes: 'My Way', an anthemic ballad in which the song's ageing protagonist reflects on his life and its achievements.
What is the message of the song My Way?
Means someone walked through life with a proud stride and didn't take crap from anyone. Made some mistakes, but survived it all, and is waiting for death. Took what came his way and dealt with it.
