"Ain't My Bitch" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica that appears as the opening track on their sixth studio album, Load (1996). Written by frontman James Hetfield, with drummer Lars Ulrich co-composing and the two producing with Bob Rock, the song incorporates influences from Southern rock and alternative rock. It has also a country-influenced guitar solo.
It was released as a promotional single in Mexico, but only charted in the US, where the song peaked at No. 15 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Despite this, "Ain't My Bitch" became a live staple on the band's Poor Touring Me world tour, but was last played in 1998.
