„I Will Survive“ je pesma američke pevačice Glorije Gejnor, koju je oktobra 1978. objavila Polidor Records kao drugi singl sa njenog šestog albuma, Love Tracks (1978). Napisali su je Fredi Peren i Dino Fekaris. Tekst pesme opisuje naratorovo otkriće lične snage nakon prvobitno razornog raskida. Pesma se takođe često pominje kao simbol osnaživanja žena, kao i kao deo diskoteke.
„I Will Survive“ je dobio veliku emisiju 1979. Singl je proveo tri uzastopne nedelje na prvom mestu američke Bilbord Hot 100, a takođe je dostigao vrhunac na UK Singles Chart i Irish Singles Chart. Kasnije je dobio platinasti sertifikat od strane Američkog udruženja izdavačke industrije (RIAA). Osvojio je najbolji disko snimak na 22. godišnjim nagradama Gremi, a takođe je dobio nominaciju za ploču godine i najbolju žensku pop vokalnu izvedbu.
2016. godine, Kongresna biblioteka je ocenila da je Gejnorin originalni snimak „kulturološki, istorijski ili estetski značajan“ i odabrala ga za čuvanje u Nacionalnom registru snimaka. U oktobru 2023, Billboard ju je uvrstio među „500 najboljih pop pesama svih vremena“.
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You’d be back to bother meGo on now, go
Just turn around now
’cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
Somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I’m saving all my loving
For someone who’s loving meGo on now, go
Just turn around now
’cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive, oh
Just turn around now
’cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
Somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I’m saving all my loving
For someone who’s loving meGo on now, go
Just turn around now
’cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive
I’ve got so much love to give
And I’ll survive
