I Will Survive

Enrique Iglesias · Escape

You like to think
that youÂ’re the only one who understands my needs
And you tell everyone
That I canÂ’t live without you even for one day
But who gave you the right
To talk about the way I feel so deep inside

But now I realize you were never mine
We were never right
Baby you will find

I will survive
IÂ’m gonna make it through
Just give me time
I will get over you
I will survive
No matter what you do
Just wait and see
I will get over you.
Cause babe I will survive
Cause babe I will survive

What makes you think
That I donÂ’t see the ways you made a fool of me
DonÂ’t laugh behind my back
Cause what goes around I promise you comes back

But now I realize you were never mine
We were never right
Baby you will find

I will survive
IÂ’m going to make it through
Just give me time
I will get over you
I will survive
No matter what you do
Just wait and see
I will get over you.
Cuz babe I will survive

I will survive
IÂ’m gonna make it through
Just give me time
I will get over you
I will survive
No matter what you do
Just wait and see
I will get over you.

As a central piece on *Escape*, the song exemplifies the polished production and romantic themes characteristic of Iglesias' work during this period. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to capture the emotional resilience of its title, making it a staple in dance clubs and radio rotations worldwide. The recording remains a key example of the intersection between pop balladry and electronic dance music in the mid-90s.
