"The Final Countdown" is a song by Swedish rock band Europe, released in 1986. Written by Joey Tempest, it was the first single from the band's third studio album which was also named The Final Countdown. The song reached No. 1 in 25 countries, including the United Kingdom, and was certified gold in the United Kingdom in 1986. In the United States the song peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 18 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.
The song was based on a keyboard riff which Joey Tempest had written, as early as 1981 or 1982, on a Korg Polysix keyboard which he had borrowed from keyboardist Mic Michaeli. In 1985, bassist John Levén suggested that Tempest should write a song based on that riff. Tempest recorded a demo version of the song and played it for the other band members. At first the members expressed mixed reactions to it, including guitarist John Norum: "When I first heard the synth intro to 'The Final Countdown', my reaction was: 'No, this is nuts. We just can't use this.' Thank God they didn't listen to me." Tempest described their uncertainty: "Some of the guys in the band thought it was too different for a rock band. But in the end I fought hard to make sure it got used."

The Final Countdown, con i suoi quasi 10 milioni di copie vendute in tutto il mondo, è il singolo più famoso pubblicato dagli Europe, che nel febbraio 1986 anticipa l'uscita del loro terzo album The Final Countdown. «Un giorno Joey ci chiese di ascoltare la canzone che aveva scritto. Aveva registrato una demo in una cassetta ed era molto eccitato al riguardo. Entrammo tutti nella sua macchina e sentimmo la cassetta. C'era qualcosa di speciale in quella canzone, una canzone con una vita a sé.» (Ian Haugland parlando del brano The Final Countdown) È stato pubblicato in 45 giri in molti paesi, successivamente al massiccio successo dell'album, nella seconda metà del 1986 e nel primo 1987. Il pezzo nasce da un vecchio riff di tastiera composto da Joey Tempest intorno al 1981-82, il testo si i...
