I'm Alive is a song by the Electric Light Orchestra, released as a single in May 1980. It is featured in the feature film Xanadu (in its opening sequence). The song also appears on the soundtrack album Xanadu. The song is heard as the Muses emerge from a graffiti-like portrait; Olivia Newton John, playing Kira, emerges last. The song has been recently updated in the version of Xanadu on Broadway.
Included in the song's closing coda is Morse code which spells out "ELO."
"I'm Alive" is the second commercial single from Céline Dion's A New Day Has Come album. It was released on August 12 2002.
The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson who already worked with Céline Dion in 1999 on "That's the Way It Is." It's a theme song from the Stuart Little 2 movie.
