"Afraid" is a song by the American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, released on their 1997 album "Generation Swine". A two-track "pig promo" picture CD includes the 3:56 Swine Mix and 4:10 Rave Mix.

Written by bassist Nikki Sixx, the lyrics were inspired by the early stages of his relationship with Donna D'Errico, when he felt she was running away from him from fear of getting too close.Lee, Tommy, Mick Mars, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Neil Strauss.
