Released as the album's first single, the song entered the top five on the majority of the charts it appeared on. It is arguably the band's most recognizable and popular song. The song was based on an old keyboard riff that vocalist Joey Tempest had composed as early as 1981–82. .

The Final Countdown Lyrics

[01:27.04] We're leaving together
[01:31.19] But still it's farewell
[01:35.29] And maybe we'll come back
[01:39.18] To Earth, who can tell?
[01:43.35] I guess there is no one to blame
[01:47.51] We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
[01:51.44] Will things ever be the same again?
[01:57.34] It's the final countdown
[02:01.40]
[02:05.96] The final countdown
[02:09.90]
[02:14.59] Oh-oh, we're heading for Venus
[02:20.08] And still we stand tall
[02:24.10] 'Cause maybe they've seen us
[02:28.29] And welcome us all, yeah
[02:32.37] With so many light years to go
[02:36.35] And things to be found (to be found)
[02:40.49] I'm sure that we all miss her so
[02:46.40] It's the final countdown
[02:50.56]
[02:54.63] The final countdown
[02:58.72]
[03:02.70] The final countdown (the final countdown)
[03:08.26] Oh, ho-oh-oh
[03:14.99]
[04:04.09] The final countdown, oh-oh
[04:11.88] It's the final countdown
[04:16.30]
[04:20.29] The final countdown
[04:24.51]
[04:28.25] The final countdown (the final countdown)
[04:33.71] Oh, it's the final countdown
[04:40.52] We're leaving together (the final countdown)
[04:48.69] We'll all miss her so
[04:52.42] It's the final countdown (the final countdown)
[04:58.12] Oh, it's the final countdown
[05:06.00] Yeah
[05:07.72]
