"I'm Still Standing" is a song written by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin, from John's 1983 studio album Too Low for Zero.[3] It was the lead single from the album in North America, but released as the second single in the UK.

Helped by a video promoting the song on MTV, "I'm Still Standing" became a big hit for John on both sides of the Atlantic, peaking at No. 1 in Canada[4] and Switzerland,[5] No. 4 in the UK[6] and No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[7]
