"Coming for You" is a song by the American punk rock band The Offspring. It was premiered on Radio Contraband on January 30, 2015,[2][3][4] and posted on YouTube and made available for digital download the same day.[5] "Coming for You" is The Offspring's second official new release (following the 2014 covers EP Summer Nationals) since Days Go By (2012).[6] The single climbed on various Billboard rock charts, reaching No. 1 on Mainstream Rock (the band's first since "Gone Away" in 1997), top 20 on Alternative Songs and top 25 on overall Hot Rock Songs.
At first it was uncertain if "Coming for You" would be a one-off single or would appear on the band's upcoming tenth studio album,[7][8] but a tweet from frontman Dexter Holland heavily implied the album was in an unfinished state.[9] However, according to guitarist Noodles, "Coming for You" is expected to appear on the new album.[10] The Offspring toured worldwide in support of the single.[5] The song was named the official theme song for the WWE Elimination Chamber.

Videos
Accompanying the song's release was a video featuring still photos of the band performing at various venues and festivals around the world, interspersed with crowd shots.[1] On March 18, 2015, the official music video was released. The video features a fight club, but with clowns.
Reception
In a positive review, Zumic.com called the song a "mid-tempo punk anthem" with "aggressive distorted guitar chords." It also commented, "thick bass lines are strong, and drummer Pete Parada’s power behind the kit is relentless. The tune sounds fresh and alive, and proves that the band can still deliver high energy punk anthems."[1] By mid April, "Coming For You" climbed to No. 1 on US Mainstream Rock, the band's second after "Gone Away".
