"Rearviewmirror" is a song by Pearl Jam that appears on their 1993 album Vs. It was one of the first songs to feature lead singer Eddie Vedder on guitar. Vedder wrote the song's main guitar riff.[1] The song was performed on Saturday Night Live in April 1994 in support of Vs. It was included on their greatest hits album, Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991-2003.
At the end of the studio cut drummer Dave Abbruzzese can be heard throwing his drum sticks against the wall in frustration. This was in response to the pressure that was placed on him by producer Brendan O'Brien during the recording of the track.[2]
A live performance of "Rearviewmirror" can be found on the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set. Performances of the song are also included on the DVDs Touring Band 2000, Live at the Showbox, and Live at the Garden.

Eddie Vedder about "Rearviewmirror":
| “ | We start off with the music and it kinds of propels the lyrics. It made me feel like I was in a car, leaving something, a bad situation. There's an emotion there. I remembered all the times I wanted to leave...[3] | ” |
An acoustic version performed by The Frogs appears on Pearl Jam's "Immortality" single.
