This Is Gonna Hurt is the second studio album by Sixx:A.M., a side project of Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, released on May 3, 2011. Like the first album which served as a companion soundtrack to Nikki Sixx' first book The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star, this album is a companion to the book of the same name, Sixx's second book, which was released on April 12, 2011. Walmart refused to stock the album in stores because of the controversial album art, which features a heart with nails through it.

The lead single from the album is "Lies of the Beautiful People" and was released on March 1, 2011. The first single "Lies of the Beautiful People" premiered on Sixx's radio show website "Sixx Sense" on February 16, 2011, and went on sale on March 1. The album was released on May 10, 2011, after being pushed back from a March 22, 2011, release date.

This Is Gonna Hurt debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200, selling 30,000 copies in its first week of release, and at #1 on the Hard Rock Charts.

All lyrics written by James Michael, DJ Ashba and Nikki Sixx.
