"To Live and Die in L.A." is a single from the soundtrack of the same name by English new wave band Wang Chung. Released on 25 September 1985, the song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 41. Cash Box said that the song "melds its own synth dance fusion with a clear cut pop sensibility which is alluring and ultimately triumphant" and that it captures "the city’s sense of 'loneliness within a maze of people.'" The album version includes additional lyrics not included in the single version.
