"Cure for Me" is a song by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora for her third studio album, The Gods We Can Touch (2022). It was released on 7 July 2021, through Decca and Glassnote, as the second single from the album. An electropop, disco, Europop, and dance-pop song with elements of EDM music, it interpolates "Aquarela do Brasil", written by Brazilian composer Ary Barroso. The song was inspired by conversion therapy and the LGBT community, discussing how people "don't need a cure" for being themselves. Aurora and Magnus Skylstad wrote and produced "Cure for Me".
"Cure for Me" received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the song's empowering message and deemed the production as carnivalesque. Some of them viewed it as a playful departure from Aurora's previous material and compared the song to the works of Madonna. Commercially, the song reached minor chart placements, including the top 20 in Russia, Mexico, and the UK Physical Singles chart. It was certified platinum in Brazil by Pro-Música Brasil.
Aurora directed the music video for "Cure for Me" with Sigurd Fossen, in which the former performs a choreography with masked dancers. An acoustic version and Brazilian DJ Vintage Culture remixes were released on 6 and 27 August 2023, respectively. A live performance with Mexican musician Silvana Estrada, recorded in November 2021 in Mexico City, was released for streaming on 21 June 2023.
