Who it's for
Platten wrote it while she was a struggling musician, so the song comes from someone who was genuinely being overlooked rather than from a position of success.

What it is
"Fight Song" is a 2015 pop rock single by American singer-songwriter Rachel Platten. She co-wrote it with Dave Bassett, and Jon Levine produced it. It appears on her Fight Song EP and her album Wildfire. Platten wrote it while she was a struggling musician, as a song of self-empowerment about finding resolve despite fear and doubt.
