Turn Me Loose was released in 1980 as the debut single by Canadian rock band Loverboy, appearing on their self-titled first album. Written by the band with producer Bruce Fairbairn, it became their breakthrough hit in Canada and the United States and helped define early eighties arena rock. Decades later the song endures through classic rock radio, film soundtracks and commercials. The short, high-impact chorus makes it a natural pick for short-form video, where a two-second burst instantly signals retro confidence.
