Stay Alive is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Laura Jane Grace, released on October 1, 2020, through Polyvinyl Record Co. The album was written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Grace was left without the ability to record with her band Against Me!, and thus made a solo album instead. The album was recorded over three days in Steve Albini's studio in Chicago. Prior to recording with Albini, Grace was in talks to record the album with Tim Armstrong of Rancid. Stay Alive was released as a surprise album with no promotion, but music videos were released for "The Swimming Pool Song", "Blood & Thunder", and "SuperNatural Possession".
