"Satisfaction" is a song by American rapper-songwriter Eve, released on February 25, 2003 as the second and final single from the album, Eve-Olution (2002). Co-produced by Dr. Dre and his then-protégé Mike Elizondo, it was one of the last songs that Eve added to the final track listing of her album.

The song was moderately successful in the United States, reaching number 27 and 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, respectively. It was less commercially successful outside of the US, peaking at number 87 in the Netherlands, number 60 in France and number 50 in Belgium (Flanders). However, the single did fare better in the United Kingdom, where it debuted at peaked at number 20. It received favorable reviews from most music critics and a nomination for Best Female Rap Solo Performance at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards. However, it lost to Missy Elliott's "Scream." The music video for the song was filmed in her home-state of Pennsylvania.

"Satisfaction" was one of the last songs that Eve added to the album. About the recording of the song, Eve told MTV, "I actually was getting ready to walk out the studio. I had a headache, I was stressed out. I just was like ... working with Dre ... me and Dre got this love/hate relationship. Every time I write a song [for him], it's the hardest song I wrote. Like 'Blow Your Mind'; it just was drama." The song was originally recorded for Scorpion, but however, did not make the album because she already had two songs produced by Dr. Dre. She said, "We decided to put it on this album and it fit in perfectly."

Entertainment Weekly writer, Marc Weingarten, compared the song to "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", and characterized the song as "a three-note bass riff and a slow-drip beat, Eve raps for her right to party [...] and creates a starkly evocative successor to her breakout single." Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine expressed that the "rhythmes are sexy" and the "rhymes are slick".The Village Voice described it as a "Salt-n-Pepa style" song. The song received a nomination for Best Female Rap Solo Performance at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, but lost to "Scream" by Missy Elliott.
