Still Alive: The Remixes is a remix album comprising different versions of the song "Still Alive" by Swedish pop rock singer Lisa Miskovsky. It was released by Artwerk on 11 November 2008 to coincide with the North American release date of Mirror's Edge, an action-adventure video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) for which "Still Alive" had been chosen as the main theme.
The song "Still Alive" was recorded exclusively for the video game Mirror's Edge. The music was written and produced by Arnthor Birgisson and Rami Yacoub, who have also written material for artists such as Britney Spears, Shayne Ward and Westlife; Miskovsky wrote the lyrics. The song and several of its remixes have been featured in several previews, first appearing in a teaser trailer released on 6 May 2008. As of November 2008[update], a music video directed by Matthew Stawski and featuring Miskovsky has been produced for the song in Los Angeles, California.
Still Alive: The Remixes has received some favourable reviews. While reviewing the album for IGN, Spence D. praises several of the remixes, saying that each remixer "has left their own unique stamp on the material, improving it by tweaking it as they saw fit". However, he also points out that "it's the remixes that really score here, taking an otherwise mundane generi-pop track and turning it upside down".
