"'Gimme'" is a single by rock singer Alice Cooper, released in 2000.

The song appeared on Cooper's album 'Brutal Planet', and was its first and only single. Its highest chart position was 103 in the UK. The song was written by Cooper and Bob Marlette.

The song is about a deal with the Devil, sung from the point of view of Satan. This is a recurring theme for Cooper, and a motif he uses in songs like "I'm The Coolest" from 1976's 'Alice Cooper Goes to Hell' and "I Just Wanna Be God" on 'Dragontown', the follow-up album to 'Brutal Planet'. The lyrics also make a reference to "Nothing's Free" from 'The Last Temptation', another song with the same theme.
