"On Our Own" is a song by Bobby Brown recorded in April 1989 and released in May 1989 for the Ghostbusters II soundtrack. It peaked at #1 and #2 on the US Billboard R&B chart and the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. It also peaked at #4 in the UK Singles Chart. Its cultural significance ranged from its strong video presence to its ability to make youngsters feel they had a certain power against ghosts if only they could break out the appropriate dance moves.[original research?]
