"Homecoming Queen" was the fifth single by American hard rock group Hinder from their triple-platinum album Extreme Behavior. Said album was the band's debut.

The song is about a girl who was popular and beautiful, with a great future, but, because of all the pressure and expectations put on her by her peers, she turned to a life of drugs.

The song bears a strong resemblance to "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses.[1]

The song peaked at number 16 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Chart, and also debuted at #100 on the Canadian Hot 100.
