"Search and Destroy" is a song recorded by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, for their third studio album This Is War.

Written by lead vocalist Jared Leto,[1] the song was released as a promotional single to UK radio on October 25, 2010.

[2][3] The track was produced by Flood and 30 Seconds to Mars, and was originally not going to be on the album because the song was so hard to mix.

It was hard to mix, a total pain in ass, but I’m glad it made the record because I think it fits in with the overall framework of the album.

[4]"Search and Destroy" was a regular on setlists during the Into the Wild and Closer to the Edge tours, after This Is War had been released.
