"Inamorata" is a song by American thrash metal band Metallica, first released on their eleventh studio album 72 Seasons as the final track, and as of its release is the longest original song by the band, being 1 minute and 13 seconds longer than the previous record holder, "Suicide and Redemption" from the 2008 album Death Magnetic.[1]

According to the band's vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, the track is "a long classic song that screamed out to end the album. Really, really cool riffs in it, really great groove. I love the way it rounds this thing out".[2]
