"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.

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