"Allies" is a song recorded by the rock band Heart.[2] It was released in 1983 as the second and final single from the band's seventh studio album Passionworks. The song was written by Jonathan Cain, best known as a member of the rock band Journey.
"Allies" was the final single released by Heart on the
power ballad which begins with a subdued piano line before building into a metal style ballad complete with power guitar chords and booming drums. The song peaked at number eighty-three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and stands as Heart's lowest-charting U.S. single along with "Unchained Melody." The band rebounded two years later, finding their biggest success yet as they joined Capitol Records
