"Energy" is a song by American recording artist Keri Hilson. It was written and produced by production team The Runaways, consisting of Louis Biancaniello, Sam Watters, Rico Love, and Wayne Wilkins, for her studio album In a Perfect World… (2009). A midtempo power ballad, "Energy" talks about an overwhelming and consuming toxic love that is causing the protagonist to reconsider her priorities.

The song was released as Hilson's solo debut single as well as the album's leading single in the United States on May 27, 2008. Although being released worldwide, it initially only charted in New Zealand at number two and managed to reach top thirty on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Dance Club Play charts. Generally well received by music critics, it was named sixty-first on the Top 144 Songs of 2008 listing by Blender magazine.^[1]
