"Through the Fire" is a song recorded by Chaka Khan from her sixth studio album, I Feel for You (1984). The David Foster-produced track was the third single from the album and reached number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 15 on the R&B singles chart.[3] It was one of the few Khan hits to cross to the Adult Contemporary chart.
Foster revealed in his 2011 PBS concert The Hit Man Returns that this was the only melody that he ever wrote with someone in mind, and that the working title of the piece was actually called "Chaka" because he was very confident that Khan would perform the song.[4]
