Barbra Streisand's first new song in years and first ever for a TV series

The song will play over the closing credits of the Peacock series "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" and is the first song Barbra Streisand has done specifically for a TV series.

"Love Will Survive" is a melancholy and haunting song which she says she aims to bring awareness to the recent “rise in antisemitism around the world today.”

The scripted drama — based on the 2018 Holocaust novel of the same name — is inspired by the real-life story of a Slovakian Jewish man deported to the largest Nazi death camp and forced to tattoo identification numbers on incoming prisoners’ arms. Amid his fight for survival, he forms an undeniable bond with a fellow prisoner, learning that love can be found even in the most horrific of places. It debuts on Peacock May 2.

“Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series as a way of remembering the 6 million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago,” she said in a statement. “And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure.”
