About this track

“Still Alive” is a song featured in the 2007 video game Portal. It was written by Jonathan Coulton and performed by Ellen McLain, who performs it while portraying the Portal character GLaDOS. The song originated in a meeting between two Valve developers and Coulton about him writing a song for the company, which Coulton accepted due to his fandom of the Half-Life series. It is the end credits song, and plays after GLaDOS is defeated by Chell to suggest that she (GLaDOS) is “still alive”.

    There was even going to be a party for you. A big party, that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend, the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come because YOU murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come because you don't HAVE any other friends, because of how unlikeable you are. It says so, right here in your personnel file. 'Unlikeable.' 'Liked by no one.' 'A bitter, unlikeable loner, whose passing shall not be mourned.' Shall. Not. Be. Mourned. That's exactly what it says. very formal. Very official. It also says you were adopted, so that's funny, too.

    Coulton did write it; but listing credit is traditionally bestowed to the performing artist.

    Still Alive is the official page for this track. JoCo wrote it, voice artiste and soprano singer Ellen McLain sang it as she provided the voice for GLaDOS. I'm not sure whether it should officially be tagged as the singer or the writer/musician.

    Go ahead and leave me. I think I prefer to stay inside. Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Maybe Black Mesa... THAT WAS A JOKE. FAT CHANCE. Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist. ---------- GLaDOS ILY <3

    Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said: Goodbye. And you were like: No way!. And then I was all: We pretended we were going to murder you. That was great...

    I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though you broke my heart and killed me, And tore it to pieces, And threw every piece into a fire. As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
