The original Danger Zone was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock and performed by Kenny Loggins for the 1986 film Top Gun, where it played over fighter jet footage and became one of the most recognisable action movie themes of the decade. Metal versions keep that soaring chorus melody but replace the polished pop rock production with heavier guitars and drums. Short edits like this one spread online as a quick audio cue for speed, flying and overconfident entrances, long after the film and its sequel renewed interest in the song.
