"Old Age" is a song first released by the American rock band Hole, composed by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana with lyrics later written by Courtney Love.

In a 1997 Melody Maker interview, Love revealed that the song was "partly someone else's composition"[1] without specifying whom, saying, "It's something somebody had a little bit of and I said 'let me have the rest of it' and I wrote this thing in it and tried to make it goth.

In March 1991, Nirvana recorded a demo on a boombox during a rehearsal in Tacoma, Washington for Butch Vig, who had been enlisted to produce their upcoming album, Nevermind, later that year.

The song was attempted during the Nevermind sessions, at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California in May 1991, but never completed, featuring only scratch vocals by Cobain, and remained unmixed.

The full song was released as a b-side to the "Violet" single in March 1995, and re-released on the rarities compilation, My Body, the Hand Grenade, in October 1997.
