"Cold as Ice" is a 1977 song written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones that was first released by British-American rock band Foreigner from their eponymous debut album. It became one of the best-known songs of the band in the US, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] It was initially the B-side of some versions of the "Feels Like the First Time" 45 rpm single.[3]

The single version is a second shorter than the album version, but adds an orchestra track.
