10 Popular Songs You Didn't Know Were Written Solely For Movies

10. The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis And The News

Written For: Back To The Future (1985)

Starting out with more of a well-known contribution, this is one of two songs that Huey Lewis and The News contributed to the Back To The Future soundtrack, the other being Back In Time.

Played during the opening sequence of the film, this track establishes the tone of the movie as Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) rides through a 1985 Hill Valley. It also heard intermittently throughout Parts II and III, showing how closely linked this song has become with the franchise.

Driven by a repeated saxophone/guitar riff, The Power Of Love is an upbeat, positive and enjoyable song that has become one of the staple tracks for the band.
