<P> Songs from the movie included "Living in America", by James Brown, and also music by John Cafferty ("Heart's on Fire", featuring Vince DiCola), Survivor, Kenny Loggins, and Robert Tepper . Go West wrote "One Way Street" for the movie by request of Sylvester Stallone . Europe's hit "The Final Countdown", written earlier in the decade by lead singer Joey Tempest, is often incorrectly stated as being featured in the film due to its similarity to DiCola's "Training Montage ." However, Europe's track was not released as a single until late 1986, after Rocky IV's release . </P> <P> According to singer Peter Cetera, he originally wrote his best - selling solo single "Glory of Love" as the end title for this film, but was passed over by United Artists, and instead used the theme for The Karate Kid Part II . </P> <P> Rocky IV grossed $127.8 million in United States and Canada, and $300 million worldwide, the most of any Rocky film . It was the highest - grossing sports film of all time, until The Blind Side (2009), which grossed $309 million (without accounting for inflation). </P> <P> Stallone has been quoted as saying the enormous financial success and fan - following of Rocky IV once had him envisioning another Rocky movie, devoted to Drago and his post-boxing life, with Balboa's storyline running parallel to Drago's . However, he noted the damage both boxers sustained in the fight made them "incapable of reason", and thus instead planned Rocky V as a showcase of the dangers of boxing . </P>
