"Habit" is a song by Pearl Jam that appears on their 1996 album, No Code. The song also appears as the B-Side on the "Who You Are" single. The song was described as an "All-American rock-out" in Pitchfork Media's review of No Code.[1]

"Habit" was premiered by frontman Eddie Vedder in 1995 while on tour as a part of punk bassist Mike Watt's backing band in support of the album Ball-Hog or Tugboat?.[2] The song references the Mike Watt song "Against The 70's" from that album with the line "Speaking as a child of the nineties."

The lyrics of the song speak out against addiction.[3] It is possible that the song is about Mike McCready's struggle with addiction.
