I don’t know a soul who didn’t find something inspiring about Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor”. It was a militant force of nature during the teen pop era. The song was birthed from the troubled trio when they had splits within the group. With rumors swirling and lawsuits flying, the girls bonded together and “Survivor” was born to get all the negativity off their backs. In turn, fans worldwide were given an anthem for breaking free of bad relationships. They sing, “Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better / You thought that I'd be weak without you, but I'm stronger… I’m a survivor / I'm not gon' give up, I'm not gon' stop...”
