"No Way Out" is a song by the English drummer Phil Collins from the Brother Bear film soundtrack.
Production
Two different versions of the song are placed onto the Brother Bear soundtrack. One is 4:18 minutes long and rock-driven, while the other is 2:37 minutes long and a more mellow keyboard-driven version.[1]
Scene
The scene where the song is heard sees Kenai being forced to tell Koda that he killed his mother when he was a human. He is remorseful but Koda looks horrified and runs away in fear.
International versions
The song was also performed by Phil Collins in various other languages besides English, namely German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.
Critical reception
GenesisNews said the song is a "compact...strong ballad" and reminiscent of older Phil Collins songs such as "I Wish It Would Rain Down" due to its "speed, harmonies and female backing vocals".[2] Allmusic deemed it "forgettable ".[3] Some critics were not fond of its use in the final film, as it drowned out the dialogue in what was supposed to be the movie's emotional highpoint.
