"Taking It All Too Hard" is the sixth track from the 1983 album Genesis by Genesis. It is known for Tony Banks' work on his Yamaha CP-70 electric piano.

The single was only released in the US in the summer of 1984; it peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart[1] and received significant airplay, but it only made it to number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. It included the eighth track from the album, "Silver Rainbow," as the B-side.

No music video was made for this single, and the song was never performed live by the band.[2] This was the last single for the band until the band's only No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Invisible Touch", in 1986.
