I Do It For You

"(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" is a power ballad by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, written alongside Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Released in 1991 as the lead single from the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack and Adams's album Waking Up the Neighbours, it became one of the defining ballads of its era. For electric guitarists, the song offers a great opportunity to practice clean melodic phrasing, gentle picking dynamics, and the restrained yet emotional lead style that defines the power ballad genre.

  • The song was co-written by legendary producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, known for shaping the sound of major rock records.
  • Originally tied to the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, the track served as the lead single for two separate releases simultaneously.
  • As a power ballad, it rewards guitarists who focus on tone control and expressive, minimal playing rather than technical complexity.
