"Always" is the first single off the album Back Into Your System by alternative metal band Saliva. It made it to #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks for one week and has been Saliva's most successful hit.

The song's chorus utilizes a power chord structure recognizable in various other singles of the alternative metal genre, including The Exies' "Ugly" released only a few years later.

The music video for "Always" focuses on a young man who appears to be haunted by a woman of his past, sporadically appearing throughout town. The video ends with the man, enraged with emotion, destroying a telephone booth before collapsing to the ground. MTV requested an edit of the lyrics in the final verse. The line "the pistol shaking in my hand, and all I can hear is the sound" was edited to replace the word "pistol" with "anger" video version. Also, this song was played on Music Choice Television.

"Always" was also the theme song for WWE's Survivor Series Pay-per-view in November 2002.
