About
As of 2026, it's 49 years old.
Stayin' Alive is the strutting, falsetto-powered heartbeat of the disco era, and its legacy got even stranger when doctors discovered its tempo (about 103 beats per minute) is nearly perfect for performing CPR — so the Bee Gees song meant for a dance floor now literally helps save lives. Its name has rarely been more accurate.
Tied forever to John Travolta's white-suited strut in Saturday Night Fever, it became the definitive sound of 1977 and disco's peak.
Slick, irresistible, and improbably life-saving, Stayin' Alive is the disco anthem that conquered the dance floor and then moonlighted as a CPR metronome.
