"She's Got Issues" is a song by The Offspring. It is the seventh track on their fifth studio album Americana (1998) and was released as the fourth and final single on October 19, 1999. The song also appears as the third track on the EP A Piece of Americana (1998).
The lyrics to the song have a narrator calling out on his angsty, victim-playing girlfriend.[3][4] As singer Dexter Holland described, "Today everyone has issues and no one takes responsibility because their mother or their father drank too much or whatever".[5] The title is inspired by the "typical psychobabble" present in talk shows.[6]
