"Always Be Here" is a song by New Zealand singer-songwriter Dane Rumble. It was released by Rumble Music on 16 February 2009 as the first single from his debut solo studio album, The Experiment (2010). "Always Be Here" was the first song that Rumble wrote for The Experiment that he liked. A pop rock and synth rock song, it discusses the dilemma of balancing a busy work schedule and a romantic relationship.

"Always Be Here" was noted by The Dominion Post's Simon Sweetman as the best track from The Experiment, and it reached number thirteen on the New Zealand Singles Chart and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ). It also reached number ninety-four on the Australian Singles Chart. A music video was filmed for "Always Be Here" and was directed by Ivan Slavov; it shows Rumble's girlfriend leaving him after his career means he spends little time with her.

After his hip hop band Fastcrew split, Rumble decided to explore other genres for his debut solo album The Experiment. "Always Be Here" was described by Rumble as "the first song I finished [writing for The Experiment] that I liked". Rumble sent a demo to New Zealand on Air, who awarded him a grant for new recording artists. The demo was developed by record producer Jonathan Campbell before release. The track was released digitally by Rumble Music on 16 February 2009 in New Zealand. In Australia, "Always Be Here" was sent to classic rock and contemporary hit radio by Hussle Recordings and Universal Music Australia on 26 July 2010, and was released as a digital download by Hussle Recordings and Rumble Music on 27 August 2010. The song was released internationally by Rumble Music on 20 June 2011 as a digital download.
