Five for Fighting is the one-man band of John Ondrasik, who rose to fame in 2001 on the strength of the pop rock ballad "Superman (It's Not Easy). Ondrasik's hit ballad was originally released in 2000, but the single became popular after the events of September 11, 2001. Five for Fighting's tale of flight, insecurity and heroics found the way in to music lovers' hearts across the country. Another Top 40 hit, "100 Years", follow three years later, cementing Five for Fighting's status as one of the decade's leading balladeers.
While it was a bittersweet way to find fame, the single's success gave Ondrasik the artistic license he'd always craved. Using the stage name Five for Fighting, a term he appropriated from ice hockey's rule book, Ondrasik made his major-label in 1997 by releasing Message for Albert. Five for Fighting later released American Town.
