"Loose" is the second song on rock group The Stooges' second album, Fun House. It features a simple guitar line using the common E to G to A progression, used in countless other rock songs. Iggy Pop repeats a vocal, "I'll stick it, deep inside". An alternate version of the song used this line to refer to a penis.

On 1970: The Complete Fun House Sessions, there are 22 takes of this song. On one, a voice can be heard suggesting sarcastically that the band should release an entire album filled with takes of "Loose".

The song has been covered by The Birthday Party and The Blake Babies.
