"Destruction" is a song by American indie rock band Joywave. It was released as a single from their debut studio album, How Do You Feel Now?, on March 30, 2015. A music video for the song was released on January 13, 2016 through YouTube. "Destruction" peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and was featured on the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 16.

The official music video for "Destruction" was released on the band's YouTube channel on January 13, 2016. It was directed by Philip Andelman and produced by Aviv Russ and Joywave. The video follows the band as they hold auditions for a new member, eventually finding an MP3 player as the right choice. They enter recording sessions together and set off on a tour, as well, until the MP3 player goes solo, eventually leaving Joywave out of the limelight. Nina Corcoran of Nerdist complimented the video, calling it "clever both in its conception and creation."

On March 11, 2016, the band released the album Swish (stylized as SWISH), primarily promoting "Destruction". It contains 10 tracks, beginning with "Destruction", followed by eight versions of the song that feature different remixed intros, and ending with a bonus track titled "Life In a Bubble I Blew", a song that was cut from How Do You Feel Now?. The track titles of the portion of Swish's track list featuring the remixed versions of "Destruction" create the phrase "Why be credible when you can be incredible?". The name of the album also refers to Kanye West's seventh studio album, which was originally intended to be titled Swish.

All tracks written by Daniel Armbruster and Sean Donnelly.
