"Mended" is a song by Australian singer songwriter, Vera Blue and was released on 26 May 2017 as the second single from her second studio album, Perennial (2017).

Blue told Triple J's Veronica & Lewis, "I was in a stage where I was thinking about past relationships and my co-writer Thom, [he] came up with the idea for the title. It reminded me of all the things I haven't said and people I haven't quite let go of... It's basically about not mending with someone and making up with them. Not necessarily getting back in a relationship but letting go of the pain and the hurt, saying sorry."[1] In an interview with The Music AU, Blue added “It’s funny because you think the song is going to be about resolution, but we haven’t quite made it there yet.”[2]

"Mended" was certified gold in 2019 and platinum in 2020.
