"Lift Me Up" is the first single and opening track from The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1, the fourth studio album from Five Finger Death Punch, and is the fifteenth single overall from the band.

Halford joined the band at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards on May 2, 2013, to premiere the tune, with lead singer Ivan Moody referring to himself as being "the guest (vocalist)" on the song.

Moody closes by stating that the song is intended to inspire and that if you play your hand right, you might still come out on top.
