"Bacon" is a song recorded by American singer Nick Jonas, featuring guest vocals from singer Ty Dolla $ign. It was released on July 12, 2016, as the second single from Jonas' third studio album, Last Year Was Complicated. The song was written by Jonas, Priscilla Renea, Tyrone Griffin, Jr. and Nolan Lambroza. "Bacon" was nominated for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards for the category "Song of the Summer". It was the second consecutive year that Jonas was nominated for that award.

On March 24, 2016, Jonas announced the song as part of the track list for his new album. In March, it was revealed that singer Ty Dolla $ign had a feature on the record. According to Jonas the song is about when you are out of a relationship and you start to be okay with the fact that it’s ended, saying "In my case my life was great, it’s so good that we should throw some bacon on it to make it even better". The track premiered on June 3, 2016, and was sent to US rhythmic radio on July 12, 2016, as the album's second single, replacing "Chainsaw", which had originally been confirmed for the position.

Kaitlyn Tiffany of The Verge compared the song to "Lucozade" to Zayn Malik and wrote that Ty Dolla $ign's verse is "explicitly about sex, but doesn't have anything to do with bacon". Kristie Rohwedder from Bustle wrote that the song is "another reason to be stoked" for the album.Idolator's Rachel Sonis called the song "super weird", saying that "I don’t get this one". Eddie Fu from Uproxx called it a "grown and sexy R&B track", also writing that "Ty Dolla $ign has shown he’s adept at working with pop acts in the past... and the R&B singer has delivered once again". Brianna Wiest of Teen Vogue called it a "super catchy, upbeat song" that "may seem like your average, everyday, low-key newly-single anthem".
