Fight the Tide is the second studio album from Christian rock band Sanctus Real, and was released on June 15, 2004 under Sparrow Records.

Fight the Tide won a GMA Dove Award for Modern Rock Album of the Year in 2005[5] and was generally well received by music critics.

"[7] In February 2004, Sanctus Real returned to the studio to record their second album,[8] and nearly all of the tracks were written in the previous month.

[6] Due to the constant guitar playing, especially during the second half of their recording time, guitarist Chris Rohman tried putting nail polish on his fingertips because they felt so raw.

[6] Tedd T served as producer for Fight the Tide;[9] it was recorded and mixed at Antenna Studios in Brentwood, Tennessee.

The song eventually reached #1 on R&R magazine's Christian rock chart in September, and held the position for six consecutive weeks.
