"Outshined" is a song by American rock band Soundgarden. Written by the band's frontman Chris Cornell, the song was released as the second single from their third studio album, Badmotorfinger (1991).

==Composition== "Outshined" is a grunge and hard rock song, written in D major by frontman Chris Cornell and is performed in drop D tuning. The verses are in time, an unorthodox meter which the band would also later use in "Spoonman". Guitarist Kim Thayil has said that Soundgarden usually did not consider the time signature of a song until after the band had written it, and said that the use of odd meters was "a total accident."
