"Battle in Me" is a song from rock band Garbage, serving as the lead single from its fifth studio album Not Your Kind of People. It was released on March 28, 2012 to promote the album in United Kingdom. "Battle in Me" preceded the band's underplayed headliner concert in London, and served as the band's Record Store Day 2012 release in Europe, marking the band's return after a 7-year hiatus. It showcases their signature blend of alternative rock, post-grunge, and industrial rock elements.
The song received positive reviews from critics, who praised its energetic composition and the band's return to their classic sound. Garbage promoted "Battle in Me" through live performances, including a notable appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on March 19, 2013.
