"Vivere" is a song written by Italian singer-songwriter Gerardina Trovato with Angelo Anastasio and Celso Valli. It was first recorded as a duet between Trovato and Italian pop tenor Andrea Bocelli and included in Trovato's 1994 album Non è un film as well as on Bocelli's debut album Il Mare Calmo della Sera. It was also released as a B-side single with Bocelli's "Con te partirò" in 1996 and it was later featured on the compilation album Romanza, released by Bocelli in 1997.
In 2007, Bocelli, together with Italian singer Laura Pausini, recorded "Vive Ya (Dare to Live)" and "Vivere (Dare to Live)", two multilingual versions of "Vivere" in Spanish and Italian respectively, the latter featuring verses in English. The later was subsequently nominated for Record of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2008.
"Vivere" was composed by Italian singer-songwriter Gerardina Trovato for her second studio album, Non è un film, released in 1994. Trovato decided to invite Bocelli to record the song with her after meeting him at one of Zucchero Fornaciari's concerts, during which he performed the song "Miserere" in a duet with Zucchero. Bocelli and Trovato performed the song as a live duet during Trovato's 1994 Italian tour, to which Bocelli participated as a regular guest.
In 2007, Bocelli re-recorded the song under the title "Vivere (Dare to Live)", with Italian singer Laura Pausini dueting with him. Pausini performs her part of the song in English. This version of the track, produced by Humberto Gatica and Tony Renis, was included in Bocelli's second greatest hits album, The Best of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere, and it was released as a single in November 2007.
