"Walking the Wire" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons.

On June 15, "Walking the Wire" was made available for download with any purchase from the band's online shop.

[3] Bobby Olivier of Billboard magazine wrote that the song "may be the band's most overtly pleasing pop anthem to date".

[4] Lauren Murphy of The Irish Times wrote: "Walking the Wire and Whatever It Takes are both arms-aloft anthems, but the more enjoyable tracks follow an 1980s pop template, like the Hall & Oates-style Make It Up to You and Start Over.

"[5] Rob Harvilla of The Ringer wrote: "'Walking the Wire,' with a romantic and inspirational anthem that at least sands off the rough edges of all that bellowing/screeching, is the closest these guys have come to their own version of Katy Perry's 'Roar,' or OneRepublic's 'Counting Stars,' or Rachel Platten's 'Fight Song.
