"No Way Out" is a song by the English singer Phil Collins from the Brother Bear film soundtrack.
Two different versions of the song are placed onto the Brother Bear soundtrack. One is 4:18 minutes long and rock-driven, while the other is 2:37 minutes long and a more mellow keyboard-driven version.
The scene where the song is heard sees Kenai being forced to tell Koda that he killed his mother when he was a human. He is remorseful but Koda looks horrified and runs away in fear.
GenesisNews said the song is a "compact...strong balled" and reminiscent of older Phil Collins songs such as I Wish It Would Rain Down due to its "speed, harmonies and female backing vocals". Allmusic deemed it "forgettable ".
In the context of the film, No Way Out has been highly criticized for drowning out the dialogue in the film's climactic scene with generic pop lyrics.
