"Man Against the World" is a song by American rock band Survivor. It was the fourth track and the third single released from their 1986 album When Seconds Count.[1] The song was originally to be included on the soundtrack to the 1985 film Rocky IV but was cut. The song did appear as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue of the Rocky IV soundtrack album, along with Survivor's two other Rocky-related singles - the #1 hit "Eye of the Tiger" (the smash hit from Rocky III) and "Burning Heart," which was the song ultimately chosen for the Rocky IV soundtrack and peaked at #2.

The B-side of the single, "Oceans" also appeared on the When Seconds Count album as the sixth track.

"Man Against the World" peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 23, 1987 and remained on the chart for a total of 5 weeks.[1]
