"Red Cliff (Shin-Sen)" (Red Cliff ～心・戦～, lit. "Heart・War") is a song by Chinese singer Alan, from her debut Japanese-language studio album Voice of Earth (2009). Written by Gorō Matsui and composed by Taro Iwashiro, it was used as the theme song for the Chinese epic film Red Cliff.^[1] "Red Cliff (Shin-Sen)" is Alan's fourth single in the theme of traditional elements;^[1] representing fire in the Japanese Godai and Tibetan Bön. The single released on October 15, 2008, and peaked at number twenty-three on the Oricon charts.^[2]

The song is a Japanese version of "Xin·Zhan (Red Cliff)" from Alan's Mandarin-language EP Xin Zhan: Red Cliff (2008). A slightly longer end roll version was included on the Red Cliff original soundtrack album released in Japan. A modern rock version of the song was used to promote the PlayStation 2 video game Dynasty Warriors 6: Special Edition, which later appeared as a bonus track on Voice of Earth, when the album was pre-ordered from Tower Records.
