"This Is It" is a song by singer-songwriter Ryan Adams from his 2003 album Rock n Roll. The song was co-written with Johnny T. Yerington[1] and released as a single in 2004.[2]

A music video for "This Is It", directed by Dominic J. DeJoseph, was produced in 2004.[3] It features concert footage of Adams and his band performing the song.

An acoustic version of the song was released as a b-side;[4] while a mellower, re-recorded version with The Cardinals can be found on the 2007 EP Follow The Lights.[5]

B-Sides

A number of non-album tracks were released as b-sides on the various "This Is It" singles, including "Red Lights", "Closer When She Goes", "Twice As Bad As Love",[6] "Funeral Marching", and "Liar".[7] All of these songs are outtakes from Rock n Roll,[8] with the exception of "Twice As Bad As Love", which comes from the sessions for Love Is Hell.[9]
