![]() This was the second time Survivor provided a theme song for a Rocky movie. It came out as the lead single from the “Rocky IV (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)”. And it has since then been featured on multiple compilation albums. ![]() “Burning Heart” came out on 1 November 1985. This would insinuate that the subject’s resolve is palpable, as in being visible to those whom he encounters. Thus as we see in the chorus, the protagonist possesses “an unquenchable thirst” which is once again an allusion to his determination to succeed.

And we can see that whatever is going down has dire consequences with ‘so much being at stake’, even with ‘our freedom being up against the ropes’ (with the latter statement being the only lyrical indication that this song is actually about a boxing match).
