"Drowning" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Banks for her debut studio album, Goddess (2014). It was released as the album's third single on June 9, 2014 by Harvest Records. The song was written by Banks, Alexander Shuckburgh, and produced by Tim Anderson and by the latter two.

During an interview with Noisey, Banks stated that the lyrics were inspired by her best friend. Chris DeVille from Stereogum described the song as "an angry fist-wave from a woman scorned." Robin Murray from Clash Music defined the song's production and the singer's vocals as "a sultry, smoky effort from the singer, with BANKS delivering one of her most seductive vocal performances to date."

The music video for "Drowning" was directed by Mike Piscitelli. It was released on Banks's Vevo channel on June 5, 2014. The video features Banks slinking through a room full of mirrors and lightbulbs. In the video Banks wears the same outfit in signature colors of black, red, and white respectively.
