Desire Wire is the debut album by American singer-songwriter and musician Cidny Bullens, released in 1978 on United Artists Records. It was produced by Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn.
This album features the track, "Survivor", which peaked at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in February 1979. "Survivor" also earned Bullens a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. According to AllMusic, while the album saw critical praise, financial problems caused United Artists to fold shortly after the albums release. Bullens would briefly sign to Casablanca Records for a second album the following year, Steal the Night, before taking an extended break from music until 1989.
