"Skin of My Teeth" is a song by the American singer Demi Lovato from her eighth studio album, Holy Fvck (2022). Island Records released it on June 10, 2022, as the album's lead single. She co-wrote the song with Oak Felder, Alex Niceforo, Keith "Ten4" Sorrells, Laura Veltz, and Lil Aaron, while the former three handled its production. "Skin of My Teeth" is a rock, pop-punk, and grunge track, led by electric guitars and drums. Lyrically, it deals with society's criticisms about addictions and drug rehabilitation, as well as Lovato's own struggles. Its title references the biblical phrase "skin of my teeth".

The song received positive reviews from music critics, many of whom lauded its theme and Lovato's vocals. They drew comparisons between "Skin of My Teeth" and the works of Hole—specifically the 1998 single "Celebrity Skin". The song failed to chart on the US Hot 100 or any major music chart internationally, although it appeared on parallel charts in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Nick Harwood directed the music video for "Skin of My Teeth", which was released alongside the song. It features Lovato confronting an ominous figure representing addiction and the media, as well as scenes of the singer performing with an electric guitar shooting out sparks. To support its release, Lovato premiered the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She included it on the regular set list of her seventh concert tour, the Holy Fvck Tour (2022), and performed it at several festivals.
