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

"Joining You" peaked at number sixteen on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. A ninety-second clip of the previously unreleased music video for the song was featured on the DVD included on the limited edition of Morissette's compilation album, The Collection (2005).

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:[citation needed] "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.
