'Holding Out for a Hero' is a song recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler for the soundtrack to the 1984 film Footloose, and later included on her 1986 album Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire. It was written by Jim Steinman and Dean Pitchford. Initially, the song only just reached the Top 100 in the UK Singles Chart, but made it to number 2 the following year, and re-entered the charts again at number 69 in 1991. The song reached No. 1 on the Irish Singles Chart on 28 September 1985. It reached the top 40 in the United States and Canada.
The song's instrumental break was reused from an earlier song by Jim Steinman called 'Stark Raving Love', which featured on Steinman's 1981 album Bad for Good.[citation needed]

Background[edit]
Jim Steinman had been recruited to work on the Footloose soundtrack, for which he wrote 'Holding Out for a Hero' with Dean Pitchford. Steinman suggested Tyler's name when he was approached about finding a singer to record the song. Tyler recorded the song at the Paramount Studios, and was shown the scene of the film where the song would feature.

Impact[edit]
Holding Out for a Hero has become a torch song. In the LGBT community, The Star Observer of Australia deemed the song a dearly-loved gay anthem.[1]
Tyler's version was used for a 1984 Days of Our Lives storyline involving the abduction of Hope Williams from her wedding by a motorcycle-riding Bo Brady.[2][3][4] The 2004 animated filmShrek 2 utilized the song.
Tyler's version is heard in a 2017TV commercial for the Kia Niro that aired during Super Bowl LI on February 5, 2017, but was posted online before the game. The ad stars Melissa McCarthy, who travels around the world stopping environmental disasters. It won the USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter, becoming the second consecutive car commercial to win the Ad Meter.[citation needed]
Tyler's version is heard in a third 2017 TV commercial for Walmart as part of a back-to-school promotion.[5]
Later in 1984 the song was used in Cover Up is an American action/adventure television series that aired for one season on CBS from September 22, 1984, to April 6, 1985. Created by Glen A. Larson, the series stars Jennifer O'Neill, Jon-Erik Hexum, Antony Hamilton, and Richard Anderson and was performed by the American actress, voice artist, comedian and singer E. G. Daily.[citation needed]
Music video[edit]
The video was produced by Jeffrey Abelson, and directed by Doug Dowdle, with the concept by Keith Williams. It was the second music video (following Deniece Williams' 'Let's Hear It For The Boy') that successfully promoted Footloose while having no movie footage in the video.
The video starts off with Bonnie Tyler escaping from a burning house; the video is set primarily in the vicinity of the burning house and on the edge of the Grand Canyon – interspersed with shots of angelic background singers dressed all in white. Evil cowboys dressed in black, carrying neon whips appear before Tyler, threatening her; a cowboy hero dressed in white, brandishing a revolver, appears on horseback and the evil cowboys flee on horseback, with the hero in pursuit. As the song fades out, the hero cowboy appears in front of Tyler.
Live performances[edit]
Two recorded live performances of 'Holding Out for a Hero' have been released on her live albums Bonnie Tyler Live (2007) and Live in Germany 1993 (2011). Video performances have also been released on Tyler's DVDs, Bonnie on Tour (2007) and the DVD edition of Live in Germany 1993.
