"Savior" is a song by American punk rock band Rise Against, featured on their fifth studio album Appeal to Reason (2008).

In contrast to the social and political topics normally discussed in Rise Against songs, "Savior" is about forgiveness and broken relationships.

It is a punk rock song, with a "frenetic pace" that John Hanson of Sputnikmusic described as reminiscent of tracks from the band's 2003 album Revolutions per Minute.

[4] John Hanson of Sputnikmusic noted that the song had a "frenetic pace", which was reminiscent of many of the tracks from the band's 2003 album Revolutions per Minute.

[3] Lyrically, "Savior" deviates from the social and political topics normally discussed in Rise Against songs, and is instead about forgiveness and broken relationships.

[5] It remains one of the band's most successful singles to date, and spent a considerable amount of time on multiple Billboard music charts.

[15] Despite a peak at number three, "Savior" topped the year end Hot Rock charts for 2010 and was certified platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America, denoting shipments of 1,000,000 copies.

[3][21] Burgess felt that "Savior" was one of three Appeal to Reason tracks that would "satisfy anyone still uneasy about Rise Against's radio aspirations".

[23] McIlrath originally envisioned a simple performance video, with the band "going nuts in a parking lot, trashing equipment, having fun and showing the physical nature of Rise Against".
