Many viewers were probably curious about the song used in the ad, but it’s an original track composed specifically for the commercial.

Eye Of The TigerSurvivor

“Eye of the Tiger,” the signature song by the American rock band Survivor, was released in 1982 and even won a Grammy Award.

It’s also famous as the theme song for the film Rocky III! You’ve probably heard it in many other settings as well, such as entrance themes.

In 2008, it was used in a commercial for the Pajero.

From the intricate rhythm and the strikingly wild guitar riff, the intro pulls you right in.

Its message—‘regain your fighting spirit’—and its poised, tiger-like drive to reach the top are invigorating and give you the strength to persevere.
