"Scar" is a pop song written by the Australian singer Missy Higgins and Kevin Griffin of the American band Better Than Ezra. Released on 2 August 2004 on Eleven, it was the first single from Higgins' debut album The Sound of White. The single is her most successful thus far, entering the ARIA singles chart at #1 and going platinum.
The song has been rumored to give a hint to Higgins's bisexuality, although she hasn't openly commented on the song's meaning.
"Scar" won Best Pop Release at the 2004 ARIA Awards and was also nominated for Single of the Year, losing out to Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl". In 2005, the song won two ARIA song writing awards for Song of the Year and Breakthrough Song.
