Lyrics

I can't do this alone Even though I am strong Need something more than me Someone to push me to victory Let's see what we can do Together, me and you Can't be afraid to try Kiss your fears goodbye No looking back You and I, we're on the attack Full speed ahead Running to the sunset Such a different feeling Both of us believing We can make it better Together, we can show the world what we can do You are next to me and I'm next to you Push me on through until the battle's won No one's gonna give a thing to us Into each other we put our trust Standing united, after the fight All alone we will never be The two of us are holding the key We see today, a world we couldn't see Before I say goodbye to you, one more last fist bump I know you have been afraid before But you don't have to be any more No more emptiness to feel inside When we run together, no one can break up our stride No looking back You and I, we're on the attack Full speed ahead Running to the sunset Such a different feeling Both of us believing We can make it better

Trivia

• "Right There, Ride On" is the only previous Sonic the Hedgehog song not to be included in Ultimate.
• This is the only game where the vocal to non-vocal ratio of Sonic the Hedgehog music is even.
• If one counts both versions of SSB4 as being the same game, Ultimate is the only game with 3rd Party characters where the Sonic the Hedgehog universe does not have the most music for any third party universe, as Mega Man, Street Fighter and Fatal Fury exceed it.
