A hyperpower is a nation that dominates the global stage through economy, military power, and technological prowess. The term has been used to describe the United States in the 1990s and retrospectively the British Empire in the 19th century.
While the song is instrumental, it uses a crowd chant throughout. The words, if indeed there are any, are unknown despite being directly accessible from the [[multitracks|multitrack]] release.
