This is the signature song from Gloria Gaynor’s, a singer whose heyday was during the 1970s, career. Meaning of “I Will Survive” as used in Song and TitleĪnd that leads us to the title. The singer is letting her ex know, in her frustration, that she will be quite okay without him. Or stated differently, ‘she will survive’ despite the two of them not being together. And with that being noted, she promptly instructs him to “walk out the door” and never to return. But the singer is not impressed at all by this re-appearance. Indeed it can be gleaned that when he dumped her, he turned her off for good. For he apparently put her under the impression that she could not “survive” without him. In other words, the addressee must’ve been convinced that Gloria would be so devastated by losing him that she could not function properly in the aftermath – or some sentiment along those lines. And on top of that, the implication is that he didn’t treat her too well even when they were together.Īnd yes, the singer does admit that at first the whole ordeal did take a significant toll on her. However, in the process of overcoming her heartbreak she not only became a stronger but also entirely “new” person. So all things considered, she is totally not entertaining the idea of getting back with the addressee.
