"I Will Survive" is a song recorded by American singer Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978 by Polydor Records as the second single from her sixth album, Love Tracks (1978). It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. The song's lyrics describe the narrator's discovery of personal strength following an initially devastating breakup.

It was also a hit on the mainstream Pop Charts , peaking at No. 9, and on the R&B Charts , reaching No. 34 (the original version by The Jackson 5 had been a No. 2 hit on the Hot 100 in 1971).
