Here's Where You Know The Song In The E-Trade Super Bowl Commercial From
Even if you've never seen The Karate Kid, "You're the Best" has been featured in countless other movies, TV shows, video games, and commercials (via Looper). Just to name a few, the '80s track has appeared in TV shows like Black-ish, The Simpsons, and Lucifer (via Tunefind) and in all kinds of sports games as victory music. The song's powerful lyrics (and the guitar solo) speak to being as tough as possible, while always believing in yourself — it's no wonder it has such universal appeal.
Even through all the song's success, and much before the E-Trade Super Bowl commercial, Joe Esposito had very different plans for "You're the Best." The anthem was actually meant to be featured in the movie Rocky III. Esposito explained to Popdose that he wrote the song for the Stallone classic, "but it didn't make it." However, much like the song's meaning, Esposito didn't give up, and it was soon placed in one of the most famous movies of all time.
We can't wait to see E-Trade's full Super Bowl commercial on game day, and just by the song choice, we know it will be inspiring. As the company's director and chief marketing officer said in a statement, "through 'Workout,' we hope to nudge consumers to get off the bench and take charge of their investing lives with E-Trade" (via AdAge). Wanting to spark joy and optimism, we have a feeling lyrics like "never doubt that you're the one and you can have your dreams" will do just that.
