According to lyricist Gary “Mudbone” Cooper, the song is commonly misinterpreted and is actually a song of encouragement, particularly the title line. Cooper stated of the song, “Whatever your goal, desire, or vision is, you should go all the way to attain it.”

Barracuda

Contrary to common belief, Heart’s song “Barracuda” is not about a sea creature. The song’s lyrics are about lead vocalist Ann Wilson’s fury at Mushroom Records over a publicity stunt she and her sister, Nancy, were involved in. The song vividly depicts Ann’s rage at a male reporter who brought up the made-up problem. “Barracuda was theoretically formed out of a lot of this record industry [nonsense],“ producer Mike Flicker says. It arose from that entire experience.”
