"Still Alive" is a song recorded by American singer Demi Lovato for the soundtrack to the 2023 slasher film Scream VI. She wrote it along with Laura Veltz and Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda; the latter handled its production. Island Records released the song digitally on March 3, 2023, while Universal Music Group sent it to Italian radio airplay as the lead single from the album. It marked Lovato's first music release since her return to rock-infused styles with her 2022 studio album, Holy Fvck. A pop-punk song driven by electric guitars, "Still Alive" contains lyrics about surviving through a living hell.
Upon release, "Still Alive" received positive reviews from music journalists; several claimed that it felt like a Holy Fvck outtake track. It received a nomination at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards for Best Song. A horror film-themed music video for "Still Alive", directed by Jensen Noen, was broadcast on Good Morning America and released alongside the song. It intersperses scenes from the Melissa Barrera-starred film with clips of Lovato and a group of friends fighting off Ghostface. The video ends with a confirmation that the entire plot was part of a movie.
