A música Eye of the Tiger foi criada como tema para o filme Rocky III a pedido do próprio Sylvester Stallone após ele ter dificuldades de conseguir a permissão para usar a música Another One Bites the Dust do Queen. A banda Survivor, sob a liderança de Frankie Sullivan e Jim Peterik, compôs a música que se tornaria um dos maiores sucessos dos anos 80, simbolizando a determinação e a superação através de sua letra e melodia marcante.
