"Red Cliff (Shin-Sen)" (Red Cliff ~心・戦~, lit. "Heart・War") is a song by Chinese singer Alan, from her debut Japanese-language studio album Voice of Earth (2009). Written by Gorō Matsui and composed by Taro Iwashiro, it was used as the theme song for the Chinese epic film Red Cliff. "Red Cliff (Shin-Sen)" is Alan's fourth single in the theme of traditional elements; representing fire in the Japanese Godai and Tibetan Bön. The single released on October 15, 2008, and peaked at number twenty-three on the Oricon charts.

The song is a Japanese version of "Xin·Zhan (Red Cliff)" from Alan's Mandarin-language EP Xin Zhan: Red Cliff (2008). A slightly longer end roll version was included on the Red Cliff original soundtrack album released in Japan. A modern rock version of the song was used to promote the PlayStation 2 video game Dynasty Warriors 6: Special Edition, which later appeared as a bonus track on Voice of Earth, when the album was pre-ordered from Tower Records.
