"Clarity" is a Grammy Award-winning song by Russian-German electronic dance music producer Zedd featuring the vocals of British singer Foxes. It serves as the third single from his debut studio album of the same name. The song was written by Zedd, Matthew Koma, Porter Robinson and Skylar Grey and released as iTunes Single of the Week on October 2, 2012, and as an EP on February 12, 2013 by Interscope Records. Zedd has released an extended mix of the song exclusively on Beatport on November 12, 2012.

When Zedd listened to Foxes' song "Youth", he Skyped her and asked her to be the vocalist on "Clarity". After Foxes did research on about Zedd, she accepted the offer. In June 2014, following the success of "Stay the Night" featuring Hayley Williams in the United Kingdom, Clarity was re-released there, and this time reached a better peak of number 27, compared to the previous one of 29 in 2013. It ended up being awarded Silver certification by the BPI following the intake of streaming into Official Charts data in the UK.

The extended play of the track was released on February 18, 2013. It features ten remixes including Tiësto, Headhunterz and Funkagenda, among others. From December 2012 to February 4, 2013, Zedd hosted a remix contest for the track. The song was also featured as the background music of the introduction video of F1 2013. There were 982 official entries. The winning remix by Tom Budin is due to be featured on an upcoming Zedd release.

"Clarity" won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 56th Grammy Awards, becoming their first win.
