"Doll Parts" is a song by American alternative rock band Hole, written by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Courtney Love.

[7] Courtney Love is known to have written "Doll Parts" as early as November 1991, performing it acoustically at a Hole concert in Massachusetts.

[8] The song developed into its final form less than two weeks later and became a regular number on setlists during the band's tour of Europe and the United Kingdom the following month.

[10] A second version of the song was recorded on March 27, 1993, with Mark Goodier, another BBC radio host, during a short three-date tour of England.

In October 1993, the band recorded the album version of the song as part of the Live Through This sessions at Triclops Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.

"[12] Love divulged that she wrote the song while staying at the Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment of Joyce Linehan, a music executive,[13] and that she had written most of it while locked in a bathroom.

After Cobain's death in April 1994, "Doll Parts" took on a more tragic meaning with Love giving anguished performances of the song on tour.

"[5] On both Live Through This and the individual single, the song is credited on record as written by Hole as a band, however according to BMI's website, the official author is solely Love.

Love's ideas included a large amount of doll imagery, herself "in a babydoll dress looking demure while playing guitar on a bed" and "walking in a bleak backyard passing a children's table set for a tea party.

"[23] Other scenes features a young blonde boy, a reference "meant to invoke Kurt [Cobain]",[25] and footage of the band performing the song.

English trip hop artist Tricky covered the song on his 2017 album Ununiform under the title "Doll", featuring Avalon Lurks.
