"Wicked Garden" is a song by the American rock band Stone Temple Pilots that appears on their debut studio album, Core. The lyrics are about lost innocence and longing for youth. Despite the song never being released as a commercial single (only as a radio promo), it is still considered to be one of the band's biggest hits and appears on their live shows. The song's lyrics were written by Scott Weiland and the music was written by brothers Robert and Dean DeLeo. A promotional video also received regular rotation on MTV.
Despite the song never seeing a commercial release, a promotional music video for "Wicked Garden" was shot in 1993 and received medium rotation on MTV during the grunge era. Filmed at the SOMA in San Diego, it features the band performing the song at a club and also serves as a visual interpretation of the lyrics, as shown with a young impoverished girl living in a barn.
