"Back Against the Wall" is a song by the American rock band Cage the Elephant.

Cage the Elephant re-recorded "Back Against the Wall" from their debut album for the release of the single.

[6] Robin Murray of Clash magazine described the song as a "raucous blast of grimy rock 'n' roll".

[7] Aysha Hussain of This Is Fake DIY says that while the song "chugs along pleasantly enough", it sounds "a little contrived" and "finds itself too comfortable, in danger of being throwaway".

[8] The song was featured in an episode of the television show "One Tree Hill" and "The Vampire Diaries".
