"Allies" was the final single released by Heart on the Epic Records label. The band's relationship with the label was sour at the time, and the Wilson sisters claim that Epic did not properly promote their final two albums on the label. "Allies" is a power ballad which begins with a subdued piano line before building into a metal style ballad complete with power guitar chords and booming drums. The song peaked at number eighty-three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and stands as Heart's lowest-charting U.S. single along with "Unchained Melody." The band rebounded two years later, finding their biggest success yet as they joined Capitol Records.
