"Survivor" is a song recorded by Swedish Greek singer-songwriter Helena Paparizou.

The song was released on February 23, 2014 as the second single from Paparizou's third English-language album, One Life (2014).

[3] The song was written by Bobby Ljunggren, Henrik Wikström, Karl-Ola Kjellholm and Sharon Vaughn.

It participated in the 2014 Melodifestivalen where it came fourth in the final behind Alcazar, Ace Wilder and the winner, Sanna Nielsen.

[4][5] "Survivor" is a mid-tempo pop rock song that discusses a relationship, a break-up and how she got over it.

[6][7] However, after a confusion, some of the Greek media reported that Paparizou would be actually internally selected to represent Sweden in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.

[8][9] On November 26, 2013, it was officially announced by Sveriges Television that Paparizou will compete in the selection.

[15] Written by Bobby Ljunggren, Henrik Wikström, Karl-Ola Kjellholm and Sharon Vaughn, the song talks about a woman that was abandoned by a man, but yet has managed to get through the situation and survive.

[17] The song was also described as "a fairly standard-issue Schlager power anthem, built around a title more than a strong lyrical idea".

He also said that it has perfect lyrics, backdrop and appearance and that it could give Helena her second win at the Eurovision Song Contest.

[16] It was often described as a strong song with an outstanding performance by Paparizou; Franceska gave the song a rate of 10 out of 10 and said that "She [Helena] dominates the vocals and the chorus is amazing", Angus gave it a 9.75 out of 10 rate and compared it with the selection's favorite, "Undo", saying that "Survivor" is much stronger than "Undo".

James said that the song is "an instant vote winner for Eurovision viewers who like a queen" and gave it a 7 out of 10 rate.

Lastly, Sami gave the song 9 out of 10 and said that she was disappointed when she heard "Survivor" but after the Andra chansen, she changed mind.

Uli gave the song the lowest rate – 3 out of 10 – and said that "Survivor" is not good enough for Eurovision stage.

[30] Right after the second chance, the running order of the final was revealed with "Survivor" being performed at the sixth place.

[38] A few hours before the final, "Survivor" was third in the betting odds for winning the selection, following the first and second placed Sanna Nielsen and Ace Wilder.

[43][44] She also had an interview which was featured on the Greek newspaper Proto Thema at the issue of December 1, 2013.

[46][47] After the first semi-final of Melodifestivalen, Paparizou had an interview on the February issue of the Greek magazine Big Fish and talked about the career in Sweden and her attempt on representing Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest.

In the Friends Arena of Stockholm, Paparizou performed the song for the third and last time on the selection.

[50] On March 30, 2014, she appeared at the morning news and talk show of TV4, Nyhetsmorgon, where she performed "Survivor" among other songs from her album.
