"Maniac" is a song by American musician Michael Sembello, co-written with Dennis Matkosky, and best known for its inclusion on the soundtrack of the 1983 film Flashdance. Originally conceived as a darkly humorous track inspired by a television report concerning a serial killer, and the 1980 horror film Maniac, the song was later rewritten with new lyrics at the request of Flashdance director Adrian Lyne and music supervisor Phil Ramone to better align with the film's narrative about a young dancer's intense training and ambition. The revised version was featured prominently in a key sequence of the film, accompanying a montage of the protagonist's home workout routine.
