"Creep" is the seventh track off the album Core, the debut album by the band Stone Temple Pilots. Performed at a lumberingly slow tempo, the song is a calm interlude between two heavily distorted tracks. The song features the chorus, "I'm half the man I used to be." It was the third and final single off of the album. This song was particularly noted for its striking resemblance to the grunge scene of the day, and the band was scathed for jumping on the bandwagon by most music critics when the single first came out in 1993.

Also, the song in the video is approximately 30 seconds shorter than the one on the album. On the album, the first time the chorus is sung, the line, "I'm half the man I used to be (this I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)" is sung 3 times then the line "I'm half the man I used to be" is sung twice.
