"Inhale" is the third single by the alternative metal band, Stone Sour. It is also the last single released from their self-titled debut album.

The music video for the song shows the band as homeless people, wandering through a large city. While they are walking around, the band members are shown busking and sifting through dumpsters for food. Just before the second chorus, the scene changes, and the band are shown in white suits, playing the song in a posh bar/club.

However, when Corey begins to scream the interlude, the band members' suits become torn and dirty. The camera then switches between shots of the band playing and members of the audience disappearing into thin air. As the song finishes, the band is shown outside, once again homeless, before the camera fades out. This video could be interpreted as an expression of how Stone Sour, in its early days, was ridiculed by local critics for playing such heavy music. The video was directed by Iranian-American video director Alec Cartio.[verification needed]

The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance at the Grammy Awards of 2004.
