"Tourniquet" is a song by American rock band Breaking Benjamin. It was their third single off of their album Ember. The band made a video for the single, completing a trilogy of videos for the singles from the album.
The Daily Cardinal described the song as "a welcome and natural progression from their earlier works, signaling a very promising future for a band that is now two decades old" and that it features "a driving bass heavy drum line, a beautiful blending of tones and a textbook example of Burnley's vocal prowess, it stands as a gem of modern hard rock". In a fairly negative review, The Heights said: "Flutters of electric guitar notes cut through the saturated quality of the song's heavy instrumentation, and the raspy screams of the chorus have a ringing, auto-tuned quality that give the song a much-needed, distinguishable melody." MTSU Sidelines said the band "blend heavy intros and bridges with verses that build up to melodic choruses" with this song.
