Legendary singer Gloria Gaynor discusses the enduring impact of her hit song 'I Will Survive,' its resurgence on TikTok, and her hopes for younger generations. She also shares her thoughts on her new biopic, 'I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story,' and her current source of happiness.
During Lifetime's 'Voices of a Lifetime' event at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City last month, Gaynor, 81, spoke exclusively with Us Weekly about her 1978 song “I Will Survive,” which has recently had a resurgence among TikTok audiences, including young women.
“I want to see them being real women who are pleased with who they are inside and not feeling that they have to show everything they have on the outside,”she said. “Save something for your man. Save something for that special guy, something.” At the same event, Robin Roberts presented Gaynor’s biopic, I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story, a TV movie detailing the singer’s life and career, which premiered February 8 on Lifetime.
She added, “It's wonderful. It's wonderful. It's all about women, female power. Someone said to me, they were telling their wife, ‘You've got to listen to me because you are the weaker sex.’ And they heard God say, ‘You have to have weak before you can get weaker.’”
