"Pyramid" is the second single by Filipino pop and R&B singer Jake Zyrus, credited under his pre-gender transition name Charice. The song features vocals from British Virgin Islands singer Iyaz, was written by David Jassy, Niclas Molinder, Joacim Persson, Johan Alkenäs and R&B singer-songwriter Lyrica Anderson, and produced by Twin and Alke.[1]

"Pyramid" is a midtempo pop ballad with lyrics that metaphorically describes the strength of a relationship. "Pyramid" peaked at number 56 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.[2]

Pyramid was the lead single from Zyrus' debut album, Charice. A remix of the song was to be released on iTunes on February 16, 2010, but was later changed to February 23, the same day as the release of the album version. The album version was itself then delayed and released on March 2. "Pyramid" had already received airplay before it was released to iTunes. It aired on 104.3 in Las Vegas before its release as a single.[3][4] The album version was released to US mainstream radio on March 15, 2010.[5] It is his first single to achieve mainstream airplay. The song was sung in Simlish for The Sims 3: Ambitions, an expansion pack for the strategic life simulation computer game, The Sims 3.[6]
