"Born to Be Alive" is a song written by French singer Patrick Hernandez. It became a worldwide hit and reached number one on the US Billboard National Disco Action chart in early 1979. The song achieved gold status in the United States, Brazil, Germany and Italy, platinum in Australia and Canada, and silver in the United Kingdom.
Hernandez's follow-ups to "Born to Be Alive" did not fare as well in the US.

As a result of this lack of subsequent success he has earned the title of "one-hit wonder".
