"Till I Collapse" is a song by American rapper Eminem featuring American singer Nate Dogg, released from his fourth studio album The Eminem Show (2002). Despite never being released as a single, the song has managed to chart numerous times worldwide and is the most streamed non-single of all time on Spotify as of July 2024.

Background

Although it has never been released as a single, it has charted on a few occasions when other Eminem albums have been released. In 2012, it was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling 2,000,000 copies in the United States. This was followed by quintuple-platinum in 2018 and octuple-platinum in 2022. The song interpolates the 1977 song "We Will Rock You" by British rock band Queen; as a result, Brian May is credited as a songwriter.

In popular culture

When Eminem's single "Shake That" (also featuring Nate Dogg) was released in 2006, several Eminem songs re-charted that same week, including "Till I Collapse". It charted in the UK at number 192 on April 15, 2006. In 2008, it appeared in HBO's series De La Hoya/Pacquiao 24/7. In 2009, it was used in an advertisement for the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It raised digital download sales of the song worldwide considerably, but in Britain the song sold so many copies after the ad aired that it re-charted that week (November 21, 2009) at number 73, a new peak. Major League Baseball pitcher Jesse Litsch used the song as his entrance music during the 2011 season. Major League Baseball pitcher Justin Verlander uses the song as his entrance music.
