"I Will Survive" is a song first performed by American singer Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978. It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. A top-selling song, it is a popular disco anthem, as well as being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[1]

The song's lyrics describe the narrator's discovery of personal strength following an initially devastating breakup. It received heavy airplay in 1979, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart on consecutive weeks. The song is also frequently recalled as a symbol of female empowerment.[2][3][4] In 2016, the Library of Congress deemed Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Releases[]

Originally released as the B-side to "Substitute," "I Will Survive" became a worldwide success for Gaynor when disc jockeys played that side of the record instead (kick-started by legendary Studio 54 DJ Richie Kaczor).[5] "Substitute" appeared on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart for four weeks starting October 14, 1978, peaking at No. 78.[6] It also appeared on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart for four weeks in October–November 1978, peaking at No. 107.[7] "I Will Survive" then entered the Billboard Hot 100 in December that year and reached No. 1 on the chart in March 1979. The song received the Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording in 1980, the only year the award was given.

Gloria Gaynor performed the song "I Will Survive", which became one of her signature songs.[8][9]

A promotional video was filmed in 1979 at the New York discothèque called Xenon. Sheila Reid-Pender of Harlem is the featured skater in the video from the skating group, The Village Wizards. Although three videos were filmed that day, the "I Will Survive" video was the only one to survive. Gaynor was not present during the taping of the rollerskating segment of the video. Gaynor and Pender met for the first time on July 7, 2014 in New York at the 92nd St. YMCA after Gaynor's lecture and promotional signing of her book 'We Will Survive'.[10] In this book, Gaynor said, "I wanted everybody—including myself—to believe that we could survive".[10]

Following the success of fellow 1970s disco stars Sister Sledge with remixed singles in the UK in 1993, "I Will Survive" was also remixed and released that summer. This remix reached number five on the UK Singles Chart.

In November 2013, Gaynor released a gospel album entitled We Will Survive, which includes a new, updated remix of "I Will Survive" by DJ Shpank in both extended and radio edit formats.

Impact and legacy[]

VH1 placed "I Will Survive" at number 1 in their list of 100 Greatest Dance Songs in 2000.[5]

Rolling Stone listed the song at number 492 in their List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004.

Billboard placed it at number 97 in their ranking of The Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs in 2008.[11]

In 2012, "I Will Survive" was ranked at number 2 in Rolling Stone poll of The Best Disco Songs of All Time.[12]

The Daily Telegraph ranked "I Will Survive" number 48 in their The 100 Greatest Songs of All Time list in November 2016.[13]

In 2017, the song was ranked number 7 in Paste Magazine's The 60 Best Dancefloor Classics list.[14]

Pitchfork featured it in their list of 50 Songs That Define the Last 50 Years of LGBTQ+ Pride in 2018.[15] They added,

"'I Will Survive' probably would've become a gay anthem even without the specter of AIDS. It has an undeniable flair for the dramatic: After moving through that filigreed piano intro, you can imagine a lone spotlight shining on Gloria Gaynor as she drags the man dumb enough to break her heart and crawl back for more. It was released as disco's wave was beginning to break, topping the Billboard charts a few months before the infamous Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park. Had the story ended there, it'd represent the last, best gasp of a culture beaten into temporary irrelevance by thinly-veiled racism and homophobia."

In 1998, the French football (soccer) team made I will survive their unofficial anthem, particularly focusing on the instrumental sub-theme. The team ended up winning the World Cup and the song enjoyed immense popular enthusiasm amongst younger generations in the country 20 years after its original release.

Cake covered the song soft rock-style in 1996, on their album Fashion Nugget. In addition to many subtle changes, lead singer John McCrea altered the lyrics. In an interview, Gaynor stated she did not like Cake's version of the song because it used "profanity" (McCrea changed the phrase "I should've changed that stupid lock" to "...that fucking lock").[69]

The music video of Cake's version features McCrea as a city parking enforcement officer driving around in a Cushman three-wheeled scooter as he leaves tickets on various cars. Their version peaked at number 28 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart in March 1997.

Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "The kicker is a delicious cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", produced by Narada Michael Walden. Interestingly, that is the number that stands out in the legendary artist's current (and oh-so-festive) 2+1⁄2-hour show."[89] The Daily Vault's Mark Millan commented that it is "dealt with superbly, as the team managed to breathe new life into an old relic from the distant, dark days when disco ruled."[90] Alan Jones from Music Week stated that "the combination of two old favourites is bound to win favour with many people, and new dance mixes by Roger Sanchez will ease the track's path to success now it is a single."[91] Pop Rescue noted that the cover "definitely belts it out – vocally and musically".[92]
