Hearts Strong as Horses, or Hearts as Strong as Horses,[1] is the first song of season four of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, featured in the fifth episode Flight to the Finish and sung by all three members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. This song is used as training montage music while the Crusaders prepare for their flag-waving ceremony routine.
It marks the first time Claire Corlett sings as Sweetie Belle.[2] According to Ingram, this song was inspired by a "modern classic from Disney".[1] Lyricist Ed Valentine had "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor from Rocky III in mind when writing this song.[3]
This song serves as the first track on the album Songs of Ponyville.
Lyrics[]
- [Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle]
- We're the toughest little ponies in town
- Got the moves, got the mojo, no harder working ponies around
- We are a trio, work as a team
- We'll be the first ponies out on the flag-waving scene
- We get going when the going gets tough
- We know our very best is just never enough
- We're kinda short, but so what? We don't get defeated
- We could take a little break, but we don't need it
- We've got hearts as strong as horses
- We've got hearts as strong as horses
- We've got hearts as strong as horses
- We've got hea-a-a-arts, hearts strong as horses
- When we put our minds together, we can achieve
- We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and you should believe
- We've got determination to represent the nation
- For the win
- We've got hearts as strong as horses
- We've got hearts as strong as horses
- We've got hearts as strong as horses
- And we're playing to win as we gallop to glory
- We can conquer any challenge we're in
- We've got hea-a-a-arts, hearts strong as horses
- Hearts strong as horses
