First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind All alone I have cried, silent tears full of pride In a world made of steel, made of stone Well, I hear the music close my eyes, feel the rhythm Wrap around, take a hold of my heart What a feeling, being's believin' I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life Take your passion and make it happen Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life Now, I hear the music, close my eyes feel the rhythm, wrap around take hold of my heart What a feeling, being's believin' I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life Take your passion and make it happen Pictures come alive, now I'm dancing through my life What a feeling What a feeling (I am music now) Being's believin' (I am rhythm now) Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life What a feeling (I can really have it all) What a feeling (Pictures come alive when I call) I can have it all (I can really have it all) Have it all (Pictures come alive when I call) Call, call, call, call, what a feeling (I can have it all) Being's believin' (Being's believin') Take your passion, make it happen (Make it happen) What a feeling

A música ficou seis semanas no topo da Billboard Hot 100 e dominou as paradas ao redor do mundo, recebendo certificação de Ouro da Recording Industry Association of America por vendas de um milhão de cópias.
As letras foram escritas por Irene Cara e Keith Forsey após assistirem à cena final do filme, onde a personagem principal dança em uma audição, enquanto Giorgio Moroder escreveu a música.
Os criadores dos versos usaram a ambição da dançarina como uma metáfora para alcançar qualquer sonho, escrevendo letras que descrevem a sensação de ser inspirado pela música a dançar.
O sucesso inesperado do filme fez com que as vendas do single e do álbum esgotassem nas lojas em todo os EUA apenas dias após o lançamento do filme nos cinemas.
A faixa venceu o Oscar e o Globo de Ouro de Melhor Canção Original, e garantiu a Irene Cara o Grammy de Melhor Performance Vocal Pop Feminina.
Irene Cara processou sua gravadora por não receber os royalties estipulados no contrato, mas a diretora e o dono da label declararam falência, alegando não podernpagar os 1,5 milhão de dólares concedidos pelo tribunal.
