"How You Like Me Now?" is a song by English rock band The Heavy. It was released as the third single from their second studio album The House That Dirt Built in August 2009. The song samples "Let a Woman Be a Woman" by Dyke and the Blazers. The song has been used in media several times and peaked at number 122 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song became the band's most famous song to date. It was used by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in 2012, although the band sought to stop him from using it.

The song has since featured in several trailers and movies. It was used in the trailers for the 2012 movie Ted and The Transporter Refueled, during the closing credits for Horrible Bosses and in its sequel Horrible Bosses 2, in The Fighter when Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale) walk on a road in the intro of the film, in This Means War when Tuck (Tom Hardy) and Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) play paintball, and in G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Song was featured in a 2010 advertisement called "Sock Puppets" introducing the newly redesigned Kia Sorento SUV. It has also been used in the 2011 action adventure racing game Driver: San Francisco, in the closing credits for the 2012 role-playing first-person shooter Borderlands 2 and 2013 platform game Knack on the PlayStation 4, and in a TV spot for the 2013 animated movie Turbo. It was also featured in the ski film Attack of La Niña. In 2014 the song was featured on the in-game soundtrack of the racing game Forza Horizon 2 for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 on the fictional radio station Ninja Tune Radio and the official trailer of the comedy series Girl Meets World on Disney Channel in Southeast Asia. It also appeared in the multi-platform racing game The Crew on the fictional radio station 11 FM.
