"'Still Fighting It'" is a song by Ben Folds released in 2002 as the second single from his 2001 album 'Rockin' the Suburbs'. The song is a bittersweet ode to the pain of adolescence dedicated to his son Louis. He would later write an accompanying song for his daughter Gracie on the 2005 album 'Songs for Silverman', and he often performs the two songs together live. The B-sides on the single release of "Still Fighting It" are live versions of "Zak & Sara" from 'Rockin' the Suburbs' and "Boxing" from Ben Folds Five's self-titled debut album.

Angela Aki covered the song for the B-Side of her single "Tegami: Haikei Jgo no Kimi e", which was released in 2008. Another cover of this song was performed by Lee Chan-sol for the soundtrack of the 2020 South Korean television drama 'Itaewon Class'.
