"Joining You" is a song by Alanis Morissette that was featured on her 1998 album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. It was released as the second single in the UK and Europe, in two discs, on March 9, 1999.

"Joining You" peaked at number sixteen on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. A clip of the previously unreleased music video for the song was featured on the 2005 DVD release The Collection.

The narrator of the song is speaking to a friend threatening suicide, alternating childhood memories with a list of things that might have caused her to commit suicide, as well: "If we were our culture / If we were our leaders / If we were our denials I'd be joining you." The title for the song comes from this repeating line.
