"Stitches" is a song by Orgy, released as the band's first single in 1998, and then re-released the following year due to the popularity of their cover of "Blue Monday". It was released on November 23, 1999, as an enhanced compact disc, along with a music video in low quality, medium quality, and high quality in QuickTime format.

During the early live performances, the band would prepend the song with a minute-long intro; the purpose of it was to inform Gordon of the key of the song, as the song starts out with solo vocals.[3]

In 2017, Annie Zaleski of Spin named it the tenth best nu metal track of all time.[4]
