"I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)" is a 2002 song written by The Goo Goo Dolls frontman Johnny Rzeznik for Disney's animated film Treasure Planet. The song was released by Rzeznik as a single away from the Goo Goo Dolls. It was a moderately successful pop hit.

Johnny Rzeznik was picked to write the song for the movie because it was believed he could relate well with Treasure Planet's main character, Jim, and his "rebel-with-a-cause angst". Referring to Jim, Rzeznik said, "It was easy to relate to Jim, you know? I felt a lot like that when I was his age." [1]

"I'm Still Here" was one of two songs on the Treasure Planet soundtrack performed by Johnny Rzeznik; the other was "Always Know Where You Are". The song was sung by Rzeznik during the film, but performed by BBMak on the soundtrack.
