We’re Not Gonna Take It was written by Dee Snider and released by Twisted Sister as a single in April 1984 from their album Stay Hungry. We’re Not Gonna Take It is a hard rock/metal protest anthem whose lyrics express defiance against authority and which became Twisted Sister’s signature song. The single was a major hit, particularly in North America, and its humorous, rebellious music video received heavy rotation on MTV, helping to cement the song as a long‑lasting rallying cry used in political campaigns, protests and popular culture.
