"Ég á líf" (I'm alive) is the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö and is performed by singer Eyþór Ingi Gunnlaugsson after he won Söngvakeppnin 2013. The song is the first to be performed in Icelandic since 1997. It is also the first Icelandic entry ever to not have an English version recorded.
Ég á líf entered the Icelandic charts at number one in the week following the national final where it stayed for four weeks. In the week of March 22 a revamped version of the song was released and opened third on the charts, ultimately climbing up to the third spot.
