Elton Johns singlekronologi

"I'm Still Standing" er en sang af den britiske sanger Elton John fra albummet Too Low for Zero (1983).

Udgivelse[redigér | rediger kildetekst]

Sangen blev udgivet som albummets anden single i juli 1983 og blev skrevet af Elton John og Bernie Taupin. Teksten er ofte tolket til at Elton John synger om at overkomme problemer i sit private og professionelle liv, men er i virkeligheden en afspejling af Bernie Taupin og hans kamp for at komme sig efter sit mislykkede første ægteskab.

Sangen blev et stort hit og nåede førstepladsen i både Canada og Schweiz. I Storbritannien nåede sangen nummer fire på UK Singles Chart^[1] og i USA nummer tolv på Billboard Hot 100.

Musikvideo[redigér | rediger kildetekst]
