"Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)" is a song by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora for her debut studio album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend (2016). It was released on 25 August 2015, through Decca, as the third single from the album.
Aurora described "Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)" as a complex narrative told from the victim's perspective, exploring themes of pain and acceptance. The song portrays a man who, believing he is doing the right thing, takes a woman's fate into his own hands. Overcome with love and sorrow, he breaks down in tears after committing the act.
Aurora has also expressed that songwriting serves as a form of therapy for her, helping her confront fears. She believes that avoiding pain turns it into a burden, whereas facing it allows for growth, likening the process to a stone transforming into a pearl.
The song is featured twice in the penultimate episode of The Flash's third season, "Infantino Street".
