The title is written by Barry , Robin and Maurice Gibb and produced by Bee Gees, Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson. The song is coming out, as the second single of the film’s soundtrack. This title is one of the group’s flagship songs .

At the time of its release, the week of Stayin ‘Alive reached the top US charts, and keeps it for four weeks. During this period, the song became the most recognizable hit of the Bee Gees, thanks in part to its use in the opening of the film Saturday Night Fever .

A happy coincidence is the rhythm of this song a good way to remember to keep the pace during a cardiac massage 3 .
