Fight Song (Columbia, 2015)
Fight Song is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Rachel Platten, released as a single by Columbia Records on February 19, 2015. It appears on her extended play (EP) of the same name (2015) and on her major label debut studio album, and third overall, Wildfire (2016). Platten co-wrote the song with Dave Bassett.
The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in the United Kingdom and Poland. It also peaked within the top ten of the singles charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland, and the top twenty in Slovakia. It has sold six million copies in the United States, earning a 6× platinum certification by the RIAA. Platten narrowly avoided being a one hit wonder in her native U.S. with her third single, Stand By You which peaked at #37. Fight Song remains her solo charting single currently in much of Europe, including the UK.
