"Won't Back Down" is a song by hard rock band Fuel. Written by guitarist Carl Bell, the song was released as the lead single for the 2003 film Daredevil. Another version of the song was recorded for Fuel's album, Natural Selection. It was titled, "Won't Back Down (Bring You Hell remix)".

"Won't Back Down" is more industrial sounding than the rest of the band's catalog, which is partially due to the nature of the film, and also due to Bell having less than a week to write the song to meet Fox studios' deadline in order make the film and soundtrack.[1] It is the first song played in the credits of the movie.

[edit] Music video

The "Won't Back Down" video found considerable airplay on MTV2 and Fuse TV. It features clips from the movie itself. Fuel is seen playing from atop a building with a helicopter flying around in the background. Brett Scallions then enters the building and makes his way to the top floor. During this, a SWAT team follows him through the building. Brett was searching for the cane Daredevil uses in the movie. The video is included on the second disc of Daredevil.

Fuel's DVD included a music video for "Won't Back Down," titled "Won't Back Down (Band Version)." This has all the clips from Daredevil removed.
