Fight On

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the fight song of the Pennsylvania State University, see "Fight On, State".

"Fight On" is the fight song of the University of Southern California. It was composed in 1922 by USC dental student Milo Sweet, with lyrics by Sweet and Glen Grant, for a student spirit competition. The song is played at all USC Trojan and Women of Troy sports competitions, as well as many other USC related events, by the Spirit of Troy, the USC Marching Band. It is frequently named on lists of top college fight songs^[1].

During World War II, the song was used to inspire combat-bound troops in the Aleutians Campaign.

The term "Fight On" is also used as a battle cry for USC fans.

Fight on!
for ol' SC
Our men Fight on,
to victory.
Our Alma Mater dear,
looks up to you!
Fight on and win
For ol' SC
Fight on!
To victory
Fight on!
