In Pixar's Cars, what song did Rascal Flatts record for the end credits?

Rascal Flatts recorded “Life Is a Highway” for the end credits of Pixar's Cars.

The country group made the song a prominent part of the film's soundtrack, matching Cars' road-trip setting and its themes of travel, change, and friendship. The recording became strongly associated with the movie and introduced the song to a broad family audience.

“Life Is a Highway” was originally written and recorded by Canadian musician Tom Cochrane in 1991. Rascal Flatts' version is a cover rather than a song first written for Pixar, which is a common point of confusion when discussing the soundtrack.

Other notable Cars soundtrack songs include “Our Town” by James Taylor and “Real Gone” by Sheryl Crow. Those tracks are connected to the film, but neither is the Rascal Flatts end-credit recording.
