"Still Fighting It" is a song by Ben Folds released in 2002 as the second single from his 2001 album Rockin' the Suburbs. The song is a bittersweet ode to the pain of adolescence dedicated to his son Louis. He would later write an accompanying song for his daughter Gracie on the 2005 album Songs for Silverman, and he often performs the two songs together live. The B-sides on the single release of "Still Fighting It" are live versions of "Zak & Sara" from Rockin' the Suburbs and "Boxing" from Ben Folds Five's self-titled debut album.
The track "Still Fighting It" was featured in the Scrubs episode "My New Suit". The song was also used in a government information film in the UK about cyberbullying called "Let's Fight It Together".[2]
On an episode of The Ryen Russillo Podcast, the song's chorus was sung by Scott Van Pelt to describe Ryen's feelings of melancholy after seeing a father and son purchase a shovel together.[3]
