Released in 1989 as a single from Mötley Crüe's Dr. Feelgood album, Kickstart My Heart was written by bassist Nikki Sixx and became one of the band's signature anthems. Its relentless tempo and biker-rock attitude made it a stadium and sports-arena staple through the 1990s and 2000s, while placements in films, games and commercials kept it in front of new audiences. Online, the isolated opening circulates as an edited hype cue, valued because listeners recognise the riff within seconds.

The opening of Mötley Crüe's Kickstart My Heart, with revving guitars and pounding drums. Creators use it for hype intros, sports edits and energetic moments.
This clip captures the first twenty seconds of Mötley Crüe's Kickstart My Heart, the band's high-octane 1989 hit. It opens with revving, distorted electric guitars and a galloping drum beat that builds instantly, before the full band crashes in with Vince Neil's raspy shout. The sound is loud, fast and deliberately reckless, engineered to feel like an engine starting. For a viewer it triggers an instant adrenaline spike, signalling that something wild or competitive is about to happen, which is why it works so well as a hype cue.
