Every person has their go to song during tough times. Over the past week, I´ve found myself singing along to Tom Petty´s I won´t back down in the back of my mind, while dealing with what could easily be described as a "tough" personal week, and now I have the chance to sing it out loud. That´s right, this week´s karaoke challenge is the classic message of defiance, I won´t back down.

Petty wrote I won´t back down as the first single on his solo debut, Full Moon Fever. The succesful song, topping the Rock charts and peaking at number 12, had plenty of starpower behind the hit. The song was cowritten by Petty´s buddy, lead of ELO John Lynne, and featured the Beatle´s Ringo Starr on drums and George Harrison on guitar.

So, whether you´re boss is riding your back, school is drowning you, or some other crazy stuff is going on in your life, think of Tom Petty and belt out I won´t back down. Post your rendition in the forum and you could be featured in next week´s newsletter.
