"The Power of Love" is a 1985 single by Huey Lewis and the News, written for the soundtrack of the 1985 blockbuster film Back to the Future.
In the United Kingdom, it was released as a double-A side with "Do You Believe in Love," becoming the band's only top ten hit on the UK Singles Chart.
[6] The song is included alongside "Back in Time" on the film's soundtrack, and appears as a bonus track on international editions of the band's fourth studio album, Fore!
The music video, filmed in June 1985,[1] shows the band playing in a nightclub (Uncle Charlie's, a frequent stop for the band in their early career)[8] with Emmett "Doc" Brown (Christopher Lloyd) showing up in his DeLorean "Time Machine", apparently after time-traveling, and a couple stealing it for a joy ride.
A 7" single released in 1985 to radio in some countries as promotion of the film contains an edit of the aforementioned extended remix, with a run time of 4:21.
"[1] It was also nominee at the 28th Annual Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, but lost against USA for Africa's "We Are the World," to which Lewis and his bandmates had contributed backing vocals.
It plays during a montage in which Deadpool travels the multiverse in search of a variant of Wolverine to replace the deceased version from his world, as he was the "Anchor Being" keeping the timeline intact.
[12] In 2024, the song had the unusual distinction of being prominently featured in two Broadway shows at the same time: Back to the Future: The Musical and The Heart of Rock and Roll.
