"Doom and Gloom" is the lead single taken from GRRR!, the 50th anniversary compilation album by the Rolling Stones.

The song's recording marked the first time that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood had been in the studio together for seven years, since completing their 2005 album A Bigger Bang.

[3] This song represents a reversion to the "open G" guitar tuning that powered Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St..

"[5] A music video for the song was released on 20 November 2012 and was directed by Jonas Åkerlund at the Cité du Cinéma in Saint-Denis starring Noomi Rapace.

The song was played in the fourth episode of the 2012 NBC series Do No Harm, when Ian arrives at a formal event.
