"One Little Victory"

"One Little Victory" is the opening track and first single from Rush's 2002 album Vapor Trails, with music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, and lyrics by Neil Peart. The title phrase was inspired by a line from Joni Mitchell's "Sunny Sunday." To herald the band's comeback after a five-year hiatus, the single was designed to grab the attention of listeners with its rapid guitar and drum tempos.[1]

A remixed version of "One Little Victory" appears on the compilation album Retrospective 3, which was subsequently included on Vapor Trails Remixed (2013). The song also appears in the soundtrack for the video game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, released in 2002.
