"Goddess" is a song by Icelandic singer Laufey. It was released on 6 March 2024 as the lead single from the reissue of her second studio album, Bewitched, subtitled The Goddess Edition.

Laufey released her second studio album, Bewitched, on 8 September 2023. She announced the reissue, The Goddess Edition on 6 March 2024 alongside the release of "Goddess", which appears as the fourth and final bonus track (eighteenth on the album overall). The Goddess Edition was released on 26 April 2024.

When announcing the track, Laufey stated, “Goddess is my most honest song yet. I wrote it alone at my piano after feeling like someone had fallen in love with the version of me they’d seen on stage, just to find that I wasn’t what they projected once I was off stage. They deemed me to no longer be a shiny thing when the glamor wore off, reduced to skin and bone.” Lyrically, the song is a conversation with a former partner and explores the emotional turmoil associated with being in a relationship with someone who falls in love with the idea of you, rather than the actual person you are. Laufey talks of how her fame and success has become a blinding factor in her relationships, and repeats the lyric "I'm a goddess on stage / Human when we're alone" throughout the song.

A music video was premiered on April 11, 2024. The video also served as a short film. It was shot in Brooklyn, directed by Celine Song and stars Laufey and English actor and musician Will Gao as a couple whose relationship begins to fracture.
