"Still" is a 1963 single by Bill Anderson. "Still" was Anderson's second number one on the country chart, staying at the top spot for seven non-consecutive weeks.[1] The song crossed over to the pop chart, peaking at number eight.[2] Anderson performed this song on the finale of the 1977-1978 ABC game show The Better Sex which he co-hosted with Sarah Purcell.[3]

This song is mostly spoken in the two verses, rather than sung, except for the repeated refrains, that are done with a female chorus. The narrator misses his girl, since she went away, and hopes to have her back again someday soon, saying that he is still here.
