"Always" is the first single off the album Back into Your System by the American rock band Saliva with lead vocalist Josey Scott.

Music video
The video focuses on a young man, played by future Criminal Minds star Matthew Gray Gubler, who appears to be haunted by a woman of his past, sporadically appearing throughout town. The video ends with the man, enraged, 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" in the video version.[2] Also, this song was played on Music Choice Television.
Uses in media
"Always" was the theme song for WWE's Survivor Series Pay-per-view in November 2002.[3]
The song is also featured in the music video game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock as a downloadable content song.
