"Pride" is a song by British-Canadian artist Simon Collins. It was released in August 1999 as the lead single from his debut album, All of Who You Are, and was a top 40 hit in Germany, where it peaked at No. 31, and also reached No. 41 in Canada.

The song was inspired by the film Braveheart and "the concept of a man losing everything to be left only with his pride" and also alludes to Collins' bisexuality. Discussing the song in a 2005 interview, Collins stated "I was using that inspiration to write a song about not being afraid to step outside of the box or the closet and be the fuck who [sic] you want to be and don’t ever apologize for it". His father Phil Collins sings backing vocals on the track.^[2]

The video was filmed in the Cape Town suburb of Observatory.
