"Give Me My Name Back" is a song recorded by Australian singer Meg Mac. It was released on 12 October 2018.[2] It is the lead single from her second studio album Hope, which was released on 7 June 2019.[3]

Upon release Mac told Billboard: "'Give Me My Name Back' is a song for those who have suffered emotional and physical abuse, it's for the women who are standing up and speaking out, those discriminated against in the LGBTQI community, the Indigenous people of Australia and the children abused by the church. It's for everyone who has lost an important part of themselves and need to reclaim their identity, dignity and self-worth in order to move forward with their lives."[4]
