"Space Bound" is a song by American rapper Eminem. It was released on June 18, 2011, as the fourth and final single from his seventh album, Recovery.[1] The song is produced by American hip-hop producer Jim Jonsin and features samples of "Drive" by R.E.M. and "Song for Bob" by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

The music video was shot in February 2011 by director Joseph Kahn and was released to the iTunes Store on June 24, 2011. Model and former pornographic actress Sasha Grey plays a young woman who secretly cheats on her boyfriend, Eminem; this turns into a violent conflict. The video shows two sides of Eminem, one who is calm and loves his girlfriend and one who is aggressive and does not. The video received attention and controversy for a scene in which Eminem shoots himself under the chin in frustration, with blood spurting from the exit wound.
