"We Are" is a song recorded by the Swedish rock singer Ana Johnsson for her worldwide debut album The Way I Am. The song was released as her first worldwide single and her first from the album too. It is also known as having been included in the soundtrack for Spider-Man 2. "We Are" remains Ana's best-selling single to date. It currently stands at number 64 in Sweden's 'Best Alltime Singles' chart with 1253 points, a chart based on performance on the Swedish singles chart (as of 7 May 2007).[1]

Music video[]

The music video was shot in Los Angeles at the Nate Starkman & Son building (Pan Pacific Warehouse) and it was directed by Antti Jokinen.[2] The video mixes clips from Spider-Man 2 with a romantic scenario involving the feisty singer and a man from the apartment next door. To convey the intensity of Johnsson's performance, the producer created an effect where the loudness of the music seems to cause the furnishings of the man's apartment to slide across the floor.
