"Coming for You" is a song by the American punk rock band the Offspring. It was premiered on Radio Contraband on January 30, 2015,[3][4][5] and posted on YouTube and made available for digital download the same day.[6] "Coming for You" was the Offspring's second official new release (following the 2014 covers EP Summer Nationals) since Days Go By (2012),[7] and a modified version of the song appeared six years later on the band's tenth studio album, Let the Bad Times Roll (2021), with minor changes to the lyrics. The single climbed on various Billboard rock charts, reaching No. 1 on Mainstream Rock (the band's first since "Gone Away" in 1997), top 20 on Alternative Songs, and top 25 on overall Hot Rock Songs.

At first it was uncertain if "Coming for You" would be a one-off single or would appear on the band's then-upcoming tenth studio album,[8][9] but a tweet from frontman Dexter Holland heavily implied the album was in an unfinished state.[10] The Offspring toured worldwide in support of the single.[6] The song was named the official theme song for the WWE Elimination Chamber 2015.
