"Race to Win" is the main theme for Sonic Rivals 2, being the background music for Blue Coast Zone Act 1, its first level. A shorter version is also heard in the title screen. The song was performed by Ted Poley, though it was first revealed on Jun Senoue's official website that Tony Harnell had worked together with Ted Poley on this song.
Lyrics[]
- I always race to win, keep running 'till the end
- I gotta move and stay one step ahead
- Stay back and watch me go the only way I know
- Cause nothing's gonna slow me down (oh no!)
- I'm running really fast, step back and watch me pass
- Doing my best to stay ahead of you
- Won't let you catch me, not gonna pass me
- Because I think I know a trick or two
- Not gonna look back 'cause I don't wanna see
- Not gonna worry who is gaining on me
- Race to win, race to win, race to win!
- The race is getting rough, but I just won't give up
- The competition's getting really tight
- Not gonna happen, 'cause I'm not stoppin'
- No way, no how, I know the end's in sight
- I always race to win, keep running 'till the end
- I gotta move and stay one step ahead
- Stay back and watch me go the only way I know
- Because you know I always race
- Always race
- Always Race to Win!
