Which Guns N' Roses song was included in Terminator 2: Judgment Day?

“You Could Be Mine” was the Guns N' Roses song included in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The song appeared in James Cameron’s 1991 science-fiction action film and became closely associated with the movie’s futuristic, high-energy style.

Written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, “You Could Be Mine” came from the band’s Use Your Illusion sessions and was released as a single on June 25, 1991. It was also the lead single from Use Your Illusion II, which was released later that year. The track’s hard-driving rhythm and prominent guitar work made it a natural fit for the film’s action sequences.

The song’s music video blended Guns N' Roses performance footage with scenes and imagery from Terminator 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played the T-800, reportedly helped connect the band with the film project. The song reached number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and performed even better internationally. “Civil War” is sometimes confused with the answer because it appeared as the single’s B-side and on the same album.
