Last updated: December 4, 2023

This 1979 hit from Gloria Gaynor has been the anthem to a lot of things in our lives — getting over breakups, quitting a job, beating Ninja Gaiden, and so on. Surely you've belted the chorus to this song hundreds of times.

So this one should be a breeze. See if you can complete the lyrics — what three words come after "And so you’re back" in this 1979 monster hit?

Click START to answer.

 

The answer is: From outer space. Gaynor’s empowering disco hit was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. Although the song is about overcoming a broken romantic relationship, it was inspired by Fekaris’ firing from Motown Records after seven years as their songwriter. Shortly after the termination, he heard his own music on TV by chance and thought, “I will survive!” The song topped the charts in 1979 and reached platinum status. Today it’s preserved by the Library of Congress as a “culturally, historically, or artistically significant” recording. Source
