Too Low for Zero Songwriting Credits by Elton John

Too Low for Zero is the seventeenth studio album by Elton John, released in June 1983 on Rocket Records and produced by Chris Thomas. The album was a full creative and commercial resurgence, featuring an entirely Taupin-written lyric set and spawning the enormous hit 'I'm Still Standing,' a defiant anthem of survival that became one of Elton's signature songs. The accompanying music video, filmed in Cannes with dancers in skimpy costumes, became a staple of MTV and helped reintroduce Elton to younger audiences. 'I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues' and 'Kiss the Bride' were additional hits that demonstrated the continued vitality of the John-Taupin partnership. Too Low for Zero sold over two million copies in the United States and effectively launched the second great commercial chapter of Elton John's career.
