Five For Fighting is the stage name of American singer-songwriter Vladimir John Ondrasik III, who burst onto the scene in the late 1990s. The name "Five For Fighting" is derived from a term used in ice hockey, signaling Ondrasik's fondness for the sport. His music, characterized by a blend of piano-based pop and rock, has struck a chord with listeners worldwide, most notably with the hit single "Superman (It's Not Easy)" in 2000. This song became an anthem after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, showcasing Ondrasik's knack for capturing the emotional zeitgeist.

Over the years, Five For Fighting has maintained a consistent presence in the music scene with a series of albums and singles that explore themes of love, life, and social commentary. The titles such as "Let Music Fill My World" and "Blood on My Hands (White House Version)" hint at Ondrasik's commitment to both personal introspection and broader societal issues. His work often underscores the power of one individual to influence change, a theme explicitly reflected in songs like "Can One Man Save the World?" Through his music, Five For Fighting invites listeners to reflect on their roles within a larger community while offering solace and inspiration through his melodic storytelling.
