"I Saved the World Today"
Song

"I Saved the World Today" is a song recorded by the British pop music duo Eurythmics from their album Peace in 1999. It was written and co-produced by band-members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart.

The song was released as the first single from the album and returned Eurythmics to the UK singles chart for the first time in nearly a decade, peaking at number eleven. "I Saved the World Today" was not released as a single in the United States.

The song was briefly played as background music for a wedding party scene in season two, episode 12 of The Sopranos, "The Knight in White Satin Armor", and then meaningfully used as background for the closing scene and credits of that same episode. It was also used in the diner scene and over the closing credits of Norwegian film Lønsj.
