A música Life is a Highway foi escrita pelo músico canadense Tom Cochrane depois de uma viagem à África para a crise da fome em 1985, onde ele foi profundamente afetado pelas condições adversas e a pobreza que ele testemunhou. A viagem inspirou uma série de canções sobre vida, viagem e superação de dificuldades. Life is a Highway se tornou um hit internacional e é interpretada como uma mensagem de esperança e perseverança.
