The Power

Snap! burst onto the scene in 1990 with “The Power,” a dance track so bold it literally shouts its dominance. Kicking off with the iconic line “I’ve got the power!” and underscored by Turbo B’s rapid-fire rap verses, the song combines house beats, hip-hop swagger, and soulful diva vocals (by Penny Ford). It stormed charts worldwide (#2 in the US) and became a gym class and aerobics staple. “The Power” helped introduce Eurodance and hip-house to mainstream audiences and remains an instantly energizing classic. Decades later, drop that famous line in any crowd and watch the collective surge of ’90s nostalgia and adrenaline — that’s the power of “The Power.”
