'Eye of the Tiger' is a song by the American rock band Survivor. It was released in 1982 as a single from their album of the same name. The song was written by guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik, and it became an instant hit, reaching the top of the charts in the US and several other countries.

The song's association with the film 'Rocky III' helped to cement its status as a motivational anthem. The film, which was released in the same year as the song, starred Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, a boxer who faces off against the intimidating Clubber Lang, played by Mr. T. 'Eye of the Tiger' was used as the film's theme song, and its powerful, driving beat and lyrics about rising up to challenges made it the perfect choice for the movie's training and fight sequences.

Since then, 'Eye of the Tiger' has been used in countless other movies, TV shows, and commercials, and it continues to be a popular anthem for sports teams and individuals looking to motivate themselves to succeed.
