"Was it worth it?" is the second single released by UK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys from their compilation album Discography: The Complete Singles Collection.

The single peaked at #24 on the UK Singles Chart,[1] becoming the group's first single to not reach the Top 20 since they signed to Parlophone in 1984 (the second being "Numb", fifteen years later).[1] This was the main reason why the song was not included on their later hits compilation PopArt, although it was on the DVD edition. The single's B-side was "Miserablism".
