Till I Collapse

About this song

Eminem produced the track himself, and its drums are taken almost directly from Queen's anthem "We Will Rock You." The song was never released as a single, yet it became one of the most successful tracks of his career, charting on later Eminem albums and becoming the first non-single to reach one billion streams on Spotify. It was certified 5x platinum by the RIAA and earned gold and platinum awards in several other countries. In 2011 it appeared on the soundtrack of the movie Real Steel.
