The song was one of the hit singles from\nthe soundtrack\nto the 1986 American\nfilm\nTop Gun\n. It was the best-selling soundtrack of 1986 and one of the best-selling of all time.\n[\n3\n]\n[\n4\n]\nAccording to Allmusic.com, the album \"remains a quintessential artifact of the mid-'80s\" and the album's hits \"still define the bombastic, melodramatic sound that dominated the pop charts of the era\".\n[\n4\n]\nThe song is also featured in the 2022 sequel film\nTop Gun: Maverick\nand\nits soundtrack\n, using the same original recording.\nThe first chorus and partial second verse of \"Danger Zone\"\nFilm producers\nJerry Bruckheimer\nand\nDon Simpson\n, along with music supervisor Michael Dilbeck, had over 300 songs to employ on\nTop Gun\n. They tested compositions against the\ndailies\nof the opening scenes at the aircraft carrier. Nothing satisfied them and Bruckheimer asked soundtrack producer\nGiorgio Moroder\nto write something. With the help of songwriter\nTom Whitlock\n, he composed \"Danger Zone\" and had\nJoe Pizzulo\nrecord a demo. With the approval of the producers, soundtrack distributor\nColumbia Records\nrequested Moroder to have \"Danger Zone\" performed by an artist signed by the label.\n[\n5\n]\nPizzulo's original demo version would later make a partial appearance in the 1987 TV movie\nCracked Up\n.\nThe band\nToto\nwas originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of\nTop Gun\nand the band's lawyers prevented this.\n[\n6\n]\nAccording to\nSteve Lukather\n, they were told that only\nJoseph Williams\n' vocals would be used when the band sent their version to the producers. Toto deemed that decision unacceptable and pulled out.\n[\n7\n]\nIn a 2022 interview with\nAXS TV\n,\nKenny Loggins\nrevealed that it was\nJefferson Starship\nthat was the first act to be offered the track, but the band withdrew from the project.\n[\n8\n]\nCorey Hart\nwas also approached to perform \"Danger Zone\". He declined, preferring to write and perform his own compositions.\n[\n9\n]\nAccording to Loggins in the 2022 interview,\nKevin Cronin\nfrom\nREO Speedwagon\nalso declined the offer for the soundtrack, because the notes were too high for him.\n[\n10\n]\nEventually the film producers offered the song to Loggins who would recall his assent to recording \"Danger Zone\" as \"a very snap judgement\".\n[\n6\n]\n[\n11\n]\nAfter Whitlock went to Loggins, the singer added his own improvisations\n[\n5\n]\nand reached number 2 on the\nBillboard\nHot 100\n. \"Danger Zone\" was kept out of the number 1 spot by\nPeter Gabriel\n's \"\nSledgehammer\n\". It became Loggins' second-highest chart hit after his 1984 number 1 hit \"\nFootloose\n\". In a 2008 interview, Loggins said that \"Danger Zone\" does not represent him as an artist.\n[\n11\n]\nIn 2018, Loggins told\nTMZ\nthat he was having discussions with the film's lead actor\nTom Cruise\nabout having a new version of the song featured in the then-upcoming film\nTop Gun: Maverick\n.\n[\n12\n]\nUltimately the original recording was used instead. Loggins stated that Cruise wanted to invoke the same feelings listening to the song as with the original\nTop Gun\n.\n[\n13\n]\n[\n14\n]\nThe song is written in\nEb minor\nin\ncommon time signature\nwith a fast tempo of 157 beats per minute.\nDann Huff\n, singer and guitarist of the 1980s\nhard rock\ngroup\nGiant\n, played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a\nYamaha DX7\nsynthesizer. A\ntenor saxophone\nis added near the end of the song.\nThe song peaked at number two on the US\nBillboard\nHot 100\nfor a week in July 1986.\nA music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by\nTony Scott\nand featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film\nTop Gun\n, which Scott also directed.\nKenny Loggins\n– vocals and rhythm guitar\nDann Huff\n– lead guitar\nGiorgio Moroder\n– synthesizers, sequencer and drum machine\nTom Whitlock\n– synthesizer\nTom Scott\n– saxophone\nWeekly chart performance for \"Danger Zone\"\nChart (1986–1987)\nPeak\nposition\nAustralia (\nKent Music Report\n)\n[\n15\n]\n14\nCanada (\nRPM\n)\n7\nGermany (\nGfK Entertainment Charts\n)\n[\n16\n]\n12\nNew Zealand (\nRecorded Music NZ\n)\n[\n17\n]\n12\nSwitzerland (\nSchweizer Hitparade\n)\n[\n18\n]\n6\nUK Singles\n(\nOCC\n)\n[\n19\n]\n45\nUS\nBillboard\nHot 100\n[\n20\n]\n2\nUS\nCashbox\nTop 100\n4\nUS\nBillboard\nAlbum Rock Tracks\n[\n21\n]\n7\n2022 weekly chart performance for \"Danger Zone\"\nChart (2022)\nPeak\nposition\nAustralia (\nARIA\n)\n[\n22\n]\n79\nCanada Digital Song Sales (\nBillboard\n)\n[\n23\n]\n16\nGlobal 200\n(\nBillboard\n)\n[\n24\n]\n130\nHungary (\nSingle Top 40\n)\n[\n25\n]\n13\nIreland (\nIRMA\n)\n[\n26\n]\n90\nJapan (\nJapan Hot 100\n)\n[\n27\n]\n100\nNew Zealand Hot Singles (\nRMNZ\n)\n[\n28\n]\n13\nUS Digital Song Sales (\nBillboard\n)\n[\n29\n]\n7\nYear-end chart performance for \"Danger Zone\"\nChart (1986)\nPeak\nposition\nAustralia (Kent Music Report)\n[\n30\n]\n62\nUS Top Pop Singles (\nBillboard\n)\n[\n31\n]\n42\nAI-generated video of Donald Trump flying a jet and dropping fecal matter on protesting crowds posted to Truth Social on the same day as the protests.\n[\n38\n]\nKenny Loggins expressed displeasure with the use of his recording of the song in a video of an AI-generated animated rendering of\nPresident Donald Trump\nin a fighter jet bombing\nNo Kings\nprotesters with what appears to be fecal matter.\n[\n39\n]\nLoggins said of the video \"This is an unauthorized use of my performance of 'Danger Zone.' Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately. I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' – that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.\".\n[\n40\n]\n^\n\"FMQB\"\n(PDF)\n. p. 36.\n^\nAbercrombie, Olivia; Mitchell, Matt (March 10, 2024).\n\"The 50 Best Original Songs Written for Films\"\n.\nPaste\n.

The song was one of the hit singles from [the soundtrack](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun_\\(soundtrack\\) \"Top Gun (soundtrack)\") to the 1986 American [film](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Film \"Film\") *[Top Gun](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun \"Top Gun\")*. It was the best-selling soundtrack of 1986 and one of the best-selling of all time.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-3)[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-:0-4) According to Allmusic.com, the album \"remains a quintessential artifact of the mid-'80s\" and the album's hits \"still define the bombastic, melodramatic sound that dominated the pop charts of the era\".[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-:0-4) The song is also featured in the 2022 sequel film *[Top Gun: Maverick](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun:_Maverick \"Top Gun: Maverick\")* and [its soundtrack](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun:_Maverick_\\(soundtrack\\) \"Top Gun: Maverick (soundtrack)\"), using the same original recording.\n\n## Background\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Background\")\\]\n\nThe first chorus and partial second verse of \"Danger Zone\"\n\nFilm producers [Jerry Bruckheimer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jerry_Bruckheimer \"Jerry Bruckheimer\") and [Don Simpson](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Don_Simpson \"Don Simpson\"), along with music supervisor Michael Dilbeck, had over 300 songs to employ on *Top Gun*. They tested compositions against the [dailies](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dailies \"Dailies\") of the opening scenes at the aircraft carrier. Nothing satisfied them and Bruckheimer asked soundtrack producer [Giorgio Moroder](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giorgio_Moroder \"Giorgio Moroder\") to write something. With the help of songwriter [Tom Whitlock](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tom_Whitlock \"Tom Whitlock\"), he composed \"Danger Zone\" and had [Joe Pizzulo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joe_Pizzulo \"Joe Pizzulo\") record a demo. With the approval of the producers, soundtrack distributor [Columbia Records](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Columbia_Records \"Columbia Records\") requested Moroder to have \"Danger Zone\" performed by an artist signed by the label.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-80s-5) Pizzulo's original demo version would later make a partial appearance in the 1987 TV movie *[Cracked Up](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cracked_Up \"Cracked Up\")*.\n\nThe band [Toto](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Toto_\\(band\\) \"Toto (band)\") was originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of *Top Gun* and the band's lawyers prevented this.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Toto99-6) According to [Steve Lukather](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Lukather \"Steve Lukather\"), they were told that only [Joseph Williams](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joseph_Williams_\\(musician\\) \"Joseph Williams (musician)\")' vocals would be used when the band sent their version to the producers. Toto deemed that decision unacceptable and pulled out.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-7) In a 2022 interview with [AXS TV](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AXS_TV \"AXS TV\"), [Kenny Loggins](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kenny_Loggins \"Kenny Loggins\") revealed that it was [Jefferson Starship](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jefferson_Starship \"Jefferson Starship\") that was the first act to be offered the track, but the band withdrew from the project.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-8)\n\n[Corey Hart](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corey_Hart_\\(singer\\) \"Corey Hart (singer)\") was also approached to perform \"Danger Zone\". He declined, preferring to write and perform his own compositions.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-9) According to Loggins in the 2022 interview, [Kevin Cronin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kevin_Cronin \"Kevin Cronin\") from [REO Speedwagon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/REO_Speedwagon \"REO Speedwagon\") also declined the offer for the soundtrack, because the notes were too high for him.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-10)\n\nEventually the film producers offered the song to Loggins who would recall his assent to recording \"Danger Zone\" as \"a very snap judgement\".[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Toto99-6)[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11) After Whitlock went to Loggins, the singer added his own improvisations[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-80s-5) and reached number 2 on the [*Billboard* Hot 100](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_Hot_100 \"Billboard Hot 100\"). \"Danger Zone\" was kept out of the number 1 spot by [Peter Gabriel](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Gabriel \"Peter Gabriel\")'s \"[Sledgehammer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sledgehammer_\\(Peter_Gabriel_song\\) \"Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel song)\")\". It became Loggins' second-highest chart hit after his 1984 number 1 hit \"[Footloose](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Footloose_\\(song\\) \"Footloose (song)\")\". In a 2008 interview, Loggins said that \"Danger Zone\" does not represent him as an artist.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11)\n\nIn 2018, Loggins told [TMZ](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TMZ \"TMZ\") that he was having discussions with the film's lead actor [Tom Cruise](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tom_Cruise \"Tom Cruise\") about having a new version of the song featured in the then-upcoming film *Top Gun: Maverick*.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-:1-12) Ultimately the original recording was used instead. Loggins stated that Cruise wanted to invoke the same feelings listening to the song as with the original *Top Gun*.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-TGMVariety-13)[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-TGMEW-14)\n\n## Composition\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Composition\")\\]\n\nThe song is written in [Eb minor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/E-flat_minor \"E-flat minor\") in [common time signature](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Time_signature \"Time signature\") with a fast tempo of 157 beats per minute.\n\n## Overview\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Overview\")\\]\n\n[Dann Huff](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dann_Huff \"Dann Huff\"), singer and guitarist of the 1980s [hard rock](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hard_rock \"Hard rock\") group [Giant](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giant_\\(band\\) \"Giant (band)\"), played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a [Yamaha DX7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yamaha_DX7 \"Yamaha DX7\") synthesizer. A [tenor saxophone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tenor_saxophone \"Tenor saxophone\") is added near the end of the song.\n\nThe song peaked at number two on the US [*Billboard* Hot 100](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_Hot_100 \"Billboard Hot 100\") for a week in July 1986.\n\n## Music video\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: Music video\")\\]\n\nA music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by [Tony Scott](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tony_Scott \"Tony Scott\") and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film *[Top

is an unauthorized use of my performance of 'Danger Zone.' Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately. I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' – that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.\".[\\[40\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-40)\n\n## References\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)&action=edit&section=11 \"Edit section: References\")\\]\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_ref-1)**\n   [\"FMQB\"](https:\/\/www.worldradiohistory.com\/Archive-All-Music\/FMQB-Album\/1986\/FMQB-1986-04-18.pdf) (PDF). p. 36.\n2. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_ref-Paste_2024_2-0)**\n   Abercrombie, Olivia; Mitchell, Matt (March 10, 2024).

The song was one of the hit singles from [the soundtrack](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun_\\(soundtrack\\) \"Top Gun (soundtrack)\") to the 1986 American [film](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Film \"Film\") *[Top Gun](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun \"Top Gun\")*. It was the best-selling soundtrack of 1986 and one of the best-selling of all time.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-3)[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-:0-4) According to Allmusic.com, the album \"remains a quintessential artifact of the mid-'80s\" and the album's hits \"still define the bombastic, melodramatic sound that dominated the pop charts of the era\".[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-:0-4) The song is also featured in the 2022 sequel film *[Top Gun: Maverick](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun:_Maverick \"Top Gun: Maverick\")* and [its soundtrack](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun:_Maverick_\\(soundtrack\\) \"Top Gun: Maverick (soundtrack)\"), using the same original recording.\n\nThe first chorus and partial second verse of \"Danger Zone\"\n\nFilm producers [Jerry Bruckheimer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jerry_Bruckheimer \"Jerry Bruckheimer\") and [Don Simpson](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Don_Simpson \"Don Simpson\"), along with music supervisor Michael Dilbeck, had over 300 songs to employ on *Top Gun*. They tested compositions against the [dailies](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dailies \"Dailies\") of the opening scenes at the aircraft carrier. Nothing satisfied them and Bruckheimer asked soundtrack producer [Giorgio Moroder](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giorgio_Moroder \"Giorgio Moroder\") to write something. With the help of songwriter [Tom Whitlock](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tom_Whitlock \"Tom Whitlock\"), he composed \"Danger Zone\" and had [Joe Pizzulo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joe_Pizzulo \"Joe Pizzulo\") record a demo. With the approval of the producers, soundtrack distributor [Columbia Records](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Columbia_Records \"Columbia Records\") requested Moroder to have \"Danger Zone\" performed by an artist signed by the label.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-80s-5) Pizzulo's original demo version would later make a partial appearance in the 1987 TV movie *[Cracked Up](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cracked_Up \"Cracked Up\")*.\n\nThe band [Toto](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Toto_\\(band\\) \"Toto (band)\") was originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of *Top Gun* and the band's lawyers prevented this.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Toto99-6) According to [Steve Lukather](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Lukather \"Steve Lukather\"), they were told that only [Joseph Williams](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joseph_Williams_\\(musician\\) \"Joseph Williams (musician)\")' vocals would be used when the band sent their version to the producers. Toto deemed that decision unacceptable and pulled out.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-7) In a 2022 interview with [AXS TV](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AXS_TV \"AXS TV\"), [Kenny Loggins](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kenny_Loggins \"Kenny Loggins\") revealed that it was [Jefferson Starship](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jefferson_Starship \"Jefferson Starship\") that was the first act to be offered the track, but the band withdrew from the project.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-8)\n\n[Corey Hart](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corey_Hart_\\(singer\\) \"Corey Hart (singer)\") was also approached to perform \"Danger Zone\". He declined, preferring to write and perform his own compositions.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-9) According to Loggins in the 2022 interview, [Kevin Cronin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kevin_Cronin \"Kevin Cronin\") from [REO Speedwagon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/REO_Speedwagon \"REO Speedwagon\") also declined the offer for the soundtrack, because the notes were too high for him.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-10)\n\nEventually the film producers offered the song to Loggins who would recall his assent to recording \"Danger Zone\" as \"a very snap judgement\".[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Toto99-6)[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11) After Whitlock went to Loggins, the singer added his own improvisations[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-80s-5) and reached number 2 on the [*Billboard* Hot 100](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_Hot_100 \"Billboard Hot 100\"). \"Danger Zone\" was kept out of the number 1 spot by [Peter Gabriel](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Gabriel \"Peter Gabriel\")'s \"[Sledgehammer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sledgehammer_\\(Peter_Gabriel_song\\) \"Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel song)\")\". It became Loggins' second-highest chart hit after his 1984 number 1 hit \"[Footloose](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Footloose_\\(song\\) \"Footloose (song)\")\". In a 2008 interview, Loggins said that \"Danger Zone\" does not represent him as an artist.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11)\n\nIn 2018, Loggins told [TMZ](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TMZ \"TMZ\") that he was having discussions with the film's lead actor [Tom Cruise](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tom_Cruise \"Tom Cruise\") about having a new version of the song featured in the then-upcoming film *Top Gun: Maverick*.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-:1-12) Ultimately the original recording was used instead. Loggins stated that Cruise wanted to invoke the same feelings listening to the song as with the original *Top Gun*.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-TGMVariety-13)[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danger_Zone_\\(song\\)#cite_note-TGMEW-14)\n\nThe song is written in [Eb minor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/E-flat_minor \"E-flat minor\") in [common time signature](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Time_signature \"Time signature\") with a fast tempo of 157 beats per minute.\n\n[Dann Huff](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dann_Huff \"Dann Huff\"), singer and guitarist of the 1980s [hard rock](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hard_rock \"Hard rock\") group [Giant](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giant_\\(band\\) \"Giant (band)\"), played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a [Yamaha DX7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yamaha_DX7 \"Yamaha DX7\") synthesizer. A [tenor saxophone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tenor_saxophone \"Tenor saxophone\") is added near the end of the song.\n\nThe song peaked at number two on the US [*Billboard* Hot 100](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_Hot_100 \"Billboard Hot 100\") for a week in July 1986.\n\nA music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by [Tony Scott](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tony_Scott \"Tony Scott\") and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film *[Top Gun](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Top_Gun \"Top Gun\")*, which Scott also directed.\n\n- [Kenny Loggins](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kenny_Loggins \"Kenny Loggins\") – vocals and rhythm guitar\n- [Dann Huff](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dann_Huff \"Dann Huff\") – lead guitar\n- [Giorgio Moroder](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giorgio_Moroder \"Giorgio Moroder\") –

Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' – that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us.

Boilerpipe Text	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the Kenny Loggins song. For other songs, see Danger Zone § Songs . "Danger Zone" Single by Kenny Loggins from the album Top Gun B-side "I'm Gonna Do It Right" Released April 24, 1986 [ 1 ] Recorded January 1986 Genre Hard rock [ 2 ] pop rock synth-pop Length 3 : 36 Label Columbia Composer Giorgio Moroder Lyricist Tom Whitlock Producer Giorgio Moroder Kenny Loggins singles chronology "I'll Be There" (1985) " Danger Zone " (1986) " Playing with the Boys " (1986) Music video "Danger Zone" on YouTube "Danger Zone " is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins in 1986, with music composed by Giorgio Moroder and lyrics written by Tom Whitlock . The song was one of the hit singles from the soundtrack to the 1986 American film Top Gun . It was the best-selling soundtrack of 1986 and one of the best-selling of all time. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] According to Allmusic.com, the album "remains a quintessential artifact of the mid-'80s" and the album's hits "still define the bombastic, melodramatic sound that dominated the pop charts of the era". [ 4 ] The song is also featured in the 2022 sequel film Top Gun: Maverick and its soundtrack , using the same original recording. The first chorus and partial second verse of "Danger Zone" Film producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson , along with music supervisor Michael Dilbeck, had over 300 songs to employ on Top Gun . They tested compositions against the dailies of the opening scenes at the aircraft carrier. Nothing satisfied them and Bruckheimer asked soundtrack producer Giorgio Moroder to write something. With the help of songwriter Tom Whitlock , he composed "Danger Zone" and had Joe Pizzulo record a demo. With the approval of the producers, soundtrack distributor Columbia Records requested Moroder to have "Danger Zone" performed by an artist signed by the label. [ 5 ] Pizzulo's original demo version would later make a partial appearance in the 1987 TV movie Cracked Up . The band Toto was originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of Top Gun and the band's lawyers prevented this. [ 6 ] According to Steve Lukather , they were told that only Joseph Williams ' vocals would be used when the band sent their version to the producers. Toto deemed that decision unacceptable and pulled out. [ 7 ] In a 2022 interview with AXS TV , Kenny Loggins revealed that it was Jefferson Starship that was the first act to be offered the track, but the band withdrew from the project. [ 8 ] Corey Hart was also approached to perform "Danger Zone". He declined, preferring to write and perform his own compositions. [ 9 ] According to Loggins in the 2022 interview, Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon also declined the offer for the soundtrack, because the notes were too high for him. [ 10 ] Eventually the film producers offered the song to Loggins who would recall his assent to recording "Danger Zone" as "a very snap judgement". [ 6 ] [ 11 ] After Whitlock went to Loggins, the singer added his own improvisations [ 5 ] and reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 . "Danger Zone" was kept out of the number 1 spot by Peter Gabriel 's " Sledgehammer ". It became Loggins' second-highest chart hit after his 1984 number 1 hit " Footloose ". In a 2008 interview, Loggins said that "Danger Zone" does not represent him as an artist. [ 11 ] In 2018, Loggins told TMZ that he was having discussions with the film's lead actor Tom Cruise about having a new version of the song featured in the then-upcoming film Top Gun: Maverick . [ 12 ] Ultimately the original recording was used instead. Loggins stated that Cruise wanted to invoke the same feelings listening to the song as with the original Top Gun . [ 13 ] [ 14 ] The song is written in Eb minor in common time signature with a fast tempo of 157 beats per minute. Dann Huff , singer and guitarist of the 1980s hard rock group Giant , played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. A tenor saxophone is added near the end of the song. The song peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for a week in July 1986. A music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by Tony Scott and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film Top Gun , which Scott also directed.

[ 38 ] Kenny Loggins expressed displeasure with the use of his recording of the song in a video of an AI-generated animated rendering of President Donald Trump in a fighter jet bombing No Kings protesters with what appears to be fecal matter. [ 39 ] Loggins said of the video "This is an unauthorized use of my performance of 'Danger Zone.' Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately. I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' – that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.".

The song was one of the hit singles from [the soundtrack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun_\(soundtrack\) "Top Gun (soundtrack)") to the 1986 American [film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film "Film") [Top Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun "Top Gun"). It was the best-selling soundtrack of 1986 and one of the best-selling of all time.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-3)[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-:0-4) According to Allmusic.com, the album "remains a quintessential artifact of the mid-'80s" and the album's hits "still define the bombastic, melodramatic sound that dominated the pop charts of the era".[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-:0-4) The song is also featured in the 2022 sequel film [Top Gun: Maverick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun:_Maverick "Top Gun: Maverick") and [its soundtrack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun:_Maverick_\(soundtrack\) "Top Gun: Maverick (soundtrack)"), using the same original recording. ## Background \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\(song\)&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")\] The first chorus and partial second verse of "Danger Zone" Film producers [Jerry Bruckheimer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Bruckheimer "Jerry Bruckheimer") and [Don Simpson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Simpson "Don Simpson"), along with music supervisor Michael Dilbeck, had over 300 songs to employ on Top Gun. They tested compositions against the [dailies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dailies "Dailies") of the opening scenes at the aircraft carrier. Nothing satisfied them and Bruckheimer asked soundtrack producer [Giorgio Moroder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Moroder "Giorgio Moroder") to write something. With the help of songwriter [Tom Whitlock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Whitlock "Tom Whitlock"), he composed "Danger Zone" and had [Joe Pizzulo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pizzulo "Joe Pizzulo") record a demo. With the approval of the producers, soundtrack distributor [Columbia Records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Records "Columbia Records") requested Moroder to have "Danger Zone" performed by an artist signed by the label.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-80s-5) Pizzulo's original demo version would later make a partial appearance in the 1987 TV movie [Cracked Up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracked_Up "Cracked Up"). The band [Toto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_\(band\) "Toto (band)") was originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of Top Gun and the band's lawyers prevented this.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Toto99-6) According to [Steve Lukather](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Lukather "Steve Lukather"), they were told that only [Joseph Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Williams_\(musician\) "Joseph Williams (musician)")' vocals would be used when the band sent their version to the producers. Toto deemed that decision unacceptable and pulled out.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-7) In a 2022 interview with [AXS TV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AXS_TV "AXS TV"), [Kenny Loggins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Loggins "Kenny Loggins") revealed that it was [Jefferson Starship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Starship "Jefferson Starship") that was the first act to be offered the track, but the band withdrew from the project.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-8) [Corey Hart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corey_Hart_\(singer\) "Corey Hart (singer)") was also approached to perform "Danger Zone". He declined, preferring to write and perform his own compositions.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-9) According to Loggins in the 2022 interview, [Kevin Cronin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Cronin "Kevin Cronin") from [REO Speedwagon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REO_Speedwagon "REO Speedwagon") also declined the offer for the soundtrack, because the notes were too high for him.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-10) Eventually the film producers offered the song to Loggins who would recall his assent to recording "Danger Zone" as "a very snap judgement".[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Toto99-6)[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11) After Whitlock went to Loggins, the singer added his own improvisations[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-80s-5) and reached number 2 on the [Billboard Hot 100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100 "Billboard Hot 100"). "Danger Zone" was kept out of the number 1 spot by [Peter Gabriel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gabriel "Peter Gabriel")'s "[Sledgehammer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledgehammer_\(Peter_Gabriel_song\) "Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel song)")". It became Loggins' second-highest chart hit after his 1984 number 1 hit "[Footloose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footloose_\(song\) "Footloose (song)")". In a 2008 interview, Loggins said that "Danger Zone" does not represent him as an artist.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11) In 2018, Loggins told [TMZ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMZ "TMZ") that he was having discussions with the film's lead actor [Tom Cruise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cruise "Tom Cruise") about having a new version of the song featured in the then-upcoming film Top Gun: Maverick.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-:1-12) Ultimately the original recording was used instead. Loggins stated that Cruise wanted to invoke the same feelings listening to the song as with the original Top Gun.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-TGMVariety-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-TGMEW-14) ## Composition \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\(song\)&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Composition")\] The song is written in [Eb minor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-flat_minor "E-flat minor") in [common time signature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature "Time signature") with a fast tempo of 157 beats per minute. ## Overview \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\(song\)&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Overview")\] [Dann Huff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dann_Huff "Dann Huff"), singer and guitarist of the 1980s [hard rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_rock "Hard rock") group [Giant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_\(band\) "Giant (band)"), played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a [Yamaha DX7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_DX7 "Yamaha DX7") synthesizer. A [tenor saxophone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenor_saxophone "Tenor saxophone") is added near the end of the song. The song peaked at number two on the US [Billboard Hot 100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100 "Billboard Hot 100") for a week in July 1986. ## Music video \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\(song\)&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Music video")\] A music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by [Tony Scott](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Scott "Tony Scott") and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film [Top Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun "Top Gun"), which Scott also directed. ##

Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately. I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' – that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.".[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-40) ## References \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danger_Zone_\(song\)&action=edit&section=11 "Edit section: References")\] 1.

The song was one of the hit singles from [the soundtrack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun_\(soundtrack\) "Top Gun (soundtrack)") to the 1986 American [film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film "Film") [Top Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun "Top Gun"). It was the best-selling soundtrack of 1986 and one of the best-selling of all time.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-3)[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-:0-4) According to Allmusic.com, the album "remains a quintessential artifact of the mid-'80s" and the album's hits "still define the bombastic, melodramatic sound that dominated the pop charts of the era".[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-:0-4) The song is also featured in the 2022 sequel film [Top Gun: Maverick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun:_Maverick "Top Gun: Maverick") and [its soundtrack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun:_Maverick_\(soundtrack\) "Top Gun: Maverick (soundtrack)"), using the same original recording. The first chorus and partial second verse of "Danger Zone" Film producers [Jerry Bruckheimer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Bruckheimer "Jerry Bruckheimer") and [Don Simpson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Simpson "Don Simpson"), along with music supervisor Michael Dilbeck, had over 300 songs to employ on Top Gun. They tested compositions against the [dailies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dailies "Dailies") of the opening scenes at the aircraft carrier. Nothing satisfied them and Bruckheimer asked soundtrack producer [Giorgio Moroder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Moroder "Giorgio Moroder") to write something. With the help of songwriter [Tom Whitlock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Whitlock "Tom Whitlock"), he composed "Danger Zone" and had [Joe Pizzulo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pizzulo "Joe Pizzulo") record a demo. With the approval of the producers, soundtrack distributor [Columbia Records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Records "Columbia Records") requested Moroder to have "Danger Zone" performed by an artist signed by the label.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-80s-5) Pizzulo's original demo version would later make a partial appearance in the 1987 TV movie [Cracked Up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracked_Up "Cracked Up"). The band [Toto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_\(band\) "Toto (band)") was originally intended to perform the track, but legal conflicts between the producers of Top Gun and the band's lawyers prevented this.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Toto99-6) According to [Steve Lukather](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Lukather "Steve Lukather"), they were told that only [Joseph Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Williams_\(musician\) "Joseph Williams (musician)")' vocals would be used when the band sent their version to the producers. Toto deemed that decision unacceptable and pulled out.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-7) In a 2022 interview with [AXS TV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AXS_TV "AXS TV"), [Kenny Loggins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Loggins "Kenny Loggins") revealed that it was [Jefferson Starship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Starship "Jefferson Starship") that was the first act to be offered the track, but the band withdrew from the project.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-8) [Corey Hart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corey_Hart_\(singer\) "Corey Hart (singer)") was also approached to perform "Danger Zone". He declined, preferring to write and perform his own compositions.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-9) According to Loggins in the 2022 interview, [Kevin Cronin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Cronin "Kevin Cronin") from [REO Speedwagon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REO_Speedwagon "REO Speedwagon") also declined the offer for the soundtrack, because the notes were too high for him.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-10) Eventually the film producers offered the song to Loggins who would recall his assent to recording "Danger Zone" as "a very snap judgement".[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Toto99-6)[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11) After Whitlock went to Loggins, the singer added his own improvisations[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-80s-5) and reached number 2 on the [Billboard Hot 100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100 "Billboard Hot 100"). "Danger Zone" was kept out of the number 1 spot by [Peter Gabriel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gabriel "Peter Gabriel")'s "[Sledgehammer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledgehammer_\(Peter_Gabriel_song\) "Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel song)")". It became Loggins' second-highest chart hit after his 1984 number 1 hit "[Footloose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footloose_\(song\) "Footloose (song)")". In a 2008 interview, Loggins said that "Danger Zone" does not represent him as an artist.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-Springfield_News_Sun-11) In 2018, Loggins told [TMZ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMZ "TMZ") that he was having discussions with the film's lead actor [Tom Cruise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cruise "Tom Cruise") about having a new version of the song featured in the then-upcoming film Top Gun: Maverick.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-:1-12) Ultimately the original recording was used instead. Loggins stated that Cruise wanted to invoke the same feelings listening to the song as with the original Top Gun.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-TGMVariety-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-TGMEW-14) The song is written in [Eb minor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-flat_minor "E-flat minor") in [common time signature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature "Time signature") with a fast tempo of 157 beats per minute. [Dann Huff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dann_Huff "Dann Huff"), singer and guitarist of the 1980s [hard rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_rock "Hard rock") group [Giant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_\(band\) "Giant (band)"), played guitar on the song. The bass line is performed on a [Yamaha DX7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_DX7 "Yamaha DX7") synthesizer. A [tenor saxophone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenor_saxophone "Tenor saxophone") is added near the end of the song. The song peaked at number two on the US [Billboard Hot 100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100 "Billboard Hot 100") for a week in July 1986. A music video was released in May 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by [Tony Scott](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Scott "Tony Scott") and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film [Top Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun "Top Gun"), which Scott also directed. -

I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' – that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.".[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Zone_\(song\)#cite_note-40) 1.
