Born to Run is a rock album by singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music).
His third album, Born to Run was Springsteen's breakthrough hit and launched his career in the United States and around the world.
In terms of the original LP's sequencing, Springsteen adopted a "four corners" approach, as the songs beginning each side ("Thunder Road", "Born to Run") were uplifting odes to escape, while the songs ending each side ("Backstreets", "Jungleland") were sad epics of loss, betrayal, and defeat.
