There are a lot of interesting details to go through when it comes to the creation of "Bat Out of Hell." It was released as part of the album of the same name in 1977 before it was picked as the second single to be released in 1978. Like most of the songs on the album, Steinman took inspiration from a childhood classic and his stage production, Peter Pan and Neverland, with the hopes of it being a "rock 'n roll sci-fi version."
"There is something so thrilling to me about that operatic narrative that involves a cataclysmic event, especially one so perfectly intune with a teenager's world, and rock and roll, as a car or motorcycle crash," he said in an episode of Meat Loaf: Bat Out of Hell documentary.
"Bat Out of Hell" also became known as a "motorcycle crash song," seeing as its lyrics deal with the aftermath of a horrific accident. Steinman was initially angered when producer Tom Rundgren didn't include the sound of a motorcycle in the track, but it led to its iconic guitar solo in its place.
The song's infamy led it to hold many titles among fans, tagged as an arena-rock anthem, a driving staple, and an overall rock anthem. While Meat Loaf and Steinman had their disputes over copyright of the title years later, they remained friends until the composer died in 2021. The singer commented that while "Jim wrote it," the 1978 track "became my song."
