- Program Note from publisher
I'm Still Standing is a song written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, from John's Platinum-certified 1983 album, Too Low for Zero.
Helped in part by a video promoting the song on then-new MTV, I'm Still Standing became a big hit for John on both sides of the Atlantic, peaking at #1 in Canada and Switzerland, #4 in the UK, and #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
