"Against the Wind" is a classic soft rock ballad written and recorded by the talented American musician Bob Seger. It first appeared on his eleventh studio album, which bore the same name, and was released as a single by Capitol Records in April 1980. The song was produced by Bill Szymczyk and recorded over a two-year period at Criteria Studios in North Miami, Florida. "Against the Wind" benefits from the musical talents of Seger's Silver Bullet Band and the backing vocals of Glenn Frey, co-founder of the Eagles. The song's gentle piano melody and mid-range beat create the perfect backdrop for Seger's introspective lyrics about struggle and perseverance in life.
