    "Meet Me Half Way" is a song by American singer Kenny Loggins written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock for the film Over the Top. It also appears as the final track on his sixth studio album Back to Avalon.[1] It was his sixth soundtrack single and also his 13th Top 40 single, peaking at number 11, while it was more successful on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number two.

    Release[edit]

    The single debuted at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent twenty-five weeks on the chart, peaking at number 11 in the week of June 13, 1987.[2] It was ranked 96th on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1987. It also peaked at number 28 on the Canadian RPM 100 chart.[3]
