"Iron" is a song by Nicky Romero and Calvin Harris. The song was released as a single, via Beatport. It became the second single to be released through Romero's label Protocol Recordings (after "WTF!?" with ZROQ), and the first single from the label to reach number-one on Beatport.[1] A shortened version of the song was later included on Harris' third studio album, 18 Months (2012).

Composition[edit]

The majority of the song has an upbeat electro house style until vocals from Harris come in. When the vocals do come in, the background tune is just a piano being played until Calvin Harris sings "Our hearts will never be the same again". After this happens, the song becomes upbeat again, but more aggressive.
