Patrick Hernandez didn't have one of the biggest, most iconic one-hit-wonder disco smashes, but he did have one of the best. 1979's hypnotic, gold-selling "Born to Be Alive" reached number 16 on the Top 40 pop chart, yet it's not often cited as one of the genre's definitive songs. It doesn't show up on many disco compilations either, with 1993's Double Knit Dance Hits being an exception. The song is, of course, the centerpiece of its parent album, Born to Be Alive.

My X who lived with me for a year and whom I was in love with started cheating on me with her boss at work. He's a guy with a lot of money and acted to me like a friend. I ignored a lot of red flags along the way, but when the time came and I confronted her about it, she simply moved out with no explanation. A few months later she was married to him. This song is a reflection of the story and my anger. Truth be told I'm glads she's gone now that I see her for what she is.more
