"Evidence" is a song by Faith No More, released as the third and final single from their fifth studio album, King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime. Like the other releases from the album, it failed to chart in the US; however, the song had moderate success in the UK and Australia. The song is heavily jazz-influenced and vocals were also recorded in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish—the latter of which was included on the album as a bonus track.[5] In concerts, singer Mike Patton typically performs the lyrics according to the country in which the show is taking place.[6][7][8]

"Evidence" was the third single released from King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime—and with the eventual cancellation of planned releases for "Take This Bottle" and "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies", would be the album's last single, It was released on 8 May 1995, and in the UK on 17 July that year. The band made an appearance the previous April on the Australian variety show Hey Hey It's Saturday to perform the song,[9] which eventually peaked at number 32 in the UK[10] and number 27 in Australia;[11] becoming the 29th most-played song on Australian radio that year.[12] A video was made for the song, directed by Walter A. Stern.[13]
