"Until I Die" is a pop song performed by Swedish singer September. The song was written by Anoo Bhagavan, Jonas von der Burg and Niklas von der Burg for September's third album Dancing Shoes (2007). It was released as the album's second single on 7 November 2007 in Sweden.
Musically, the song is a eurodance song, which features dance-pop and electronic influences. According to Ron Slomowicz from About.com, he said that it was "a bit darker than you would expect from europop but in a way thats what makes it all the more special."
The song received positive reviews, praising her darker tone and felt it was catchy as well. Commercially, it remains September's least successful single in Sweden, debuting at five, and falling out of the top forty the next week. It lasted for five weeks only. The song had more success in Finland, where it peaked at number six and stayed in the charts for thirteen weeks.
The music video was released by Hard2Beat on their YouTube channel. The song features her dancing, and her walking through clockworks.
Hard2Beat Records announced that Until I Die was due to be released on 27 July 2009, as the third single from her debut UK album, Cry For You - The Album. However, it has been announced that the song's release has been cancelled due to lack of radio play. Rumours circulating the internet suggest that the song failing to make BBC Radio 1's playlist resulted in Hard2Beat scrapping the release. It was also stated that BBC Radio 1 refused to add it on their playlist, causing it to be cancelled.
However, it was released in the United Kingdom physically and digitally not long after.
"Until I Die" received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Ron Slomowicz from About.com selected the song as "Song of the Day". He said "its one of those records that is not instant. It will take a few listens to grasp the power of the lyrics and realize that this is one of the most intelligently written dance songs of the year." He then concluded saying "Though some might object to the Capella-styled production style, I think it just adds to its subtle brilliance."
