"Shattered" is a song by The Rolling Stones from their 1978 album Some Girls. The song is seen as a reflection of American lifestyles and life in 1970s-era New York City, but also influences from the English punk movement can be heard.

Recorded from October to December 1977, "Shattered" features lyrics by Mick Jagger on a guitar riff by Keith Richards. Jagger commented in a Rolling Stone interview that he wrote the lyrics in the back of a New York cab.

"Shattered" was released as a single in the US and in 1979 climbed to #31 on the Billboard Charts. The Stones memorably performed the song live for an episode of Saturday Night Live during which Jagger apparently licked Wood's lips and tore his shirt off.

A live version was captured during their 1981 tour of America and released on the 1982 live album "Still Life". It would act as the opening song for the 1981 compilation Sucking in the Seventies and in 2002 the Stones included it on their career retrospective, Forty Licks.
