"Tear You Apart" is a song by American rock band She Wants Revenge. It was released as the second single from their self-titled debut studio album in January 2006 in the U.S. and July 17, 2006 in the UK. The song reached number 6 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and number 122 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2015, the song was featured in "Checking In" the season premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel, as personally requested by Lady Gaga, one of the show's main actresses. The then-disbanded She Wants Revenge gained a significant revival in popularity as a result of the media usage, and were inspired to reunite as a result.[1]
