1984 single by Kenny Loggins
"Footloose " is a song co-written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins . It was released in January 1984 as the first of two singles by Loggins from the 1984 film of the same name (the other one being "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man) "). The song spent three weeks at number one, March 31—April 14, 1984 , on the US Billboard Hot 100Billboard ranked it at the No. 4 song for 1984.[5]
The song was very well received, and is one of the most recognizable songs recorded by Loggins. When the American Film Institute released its AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs country music artist Blake Shelton for the 2011 remake of the 1984 film.
It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 1985 ceremony , losing to Stevie Wonder 's "I Just Called to Say I Love You " from The Woman in Red
The single version is slightly shorter in length compared to the album version. It begins with a soloed guitar track instead of a drum intro, and features more prominent backing vocals in the mix, particularly towards the end of the song.
In 2018, it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[6]
Music video [ edit ]
The music video for "Footloose" was directed by Brian Grant . It uses the single version and features several scenes from the film, in particular the warehouse where Kevin Bacon 's character performs an unorchestrated dance routine (which was actually performed to a different song in the film itself).

The video opens with Blake Shelton driving a pickup truck into a drive-in theater screening the 2011 remake of the 1984 movie wherein the manager and ticket seller tells him that the film was only about to start. He then enters the compound where the cinema patrons watch the film while his backing band set up their instruments, which make the patrons take notice of them. Shelton and his band begin to perform the song and the theater patrons join in dancing while scenes from the film are played. The music video was filmed in early 2011 at the Hi-Way 50 Drive In theater located in Lewisburg, Tennessee.
