"Turtle Power!" (or simply "Turtle Power") is a song by American hip hop duo Partners in Kryme. The song was released by SBK Records from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack. An early unfinished version without Shane Faber's production plays over the film's closing credits. In the United Kingdom, the film mix heard over the end credits uses the word "hero" instead of "ninja", even though the film was not retitled in the UK, unlike the 1987 cartoon series (which was titled Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles).
"Turtle Power" was released in April 1990 and reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, making it the first hip hop single to reach number one in the UK and becoming the 13th-highest-selling single of the year in the United Kingdom. Additionally, the song peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number four in Ireland, and number seven in New Zealand.
