"Sing for the Moment" is a song, released in 2003 by American rapper Eminem. It was from his worldwide hit album, The Eminem Show, released in 2002. The song is about rap's effect on society and the misunderstanding that uninformed critics and parents have towards his message. The song samples "Dream On" by Aerosmith in its chorus.

Eminem uses the song to refute critics who have accused him of promoting violence to young people. Eminem says that committing a crime is ultimately up to the offender:

They say music can alter moods and talk to you
well can it load a gun up for you, and cock it too?
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued

The song reached #14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, #6 on the UK Singles Chart, and #5 on the Australian ARIAnet Singles Chart.

"Sing For the Moment" was later released on Eminem's greatest hits album, Curtain Call.
