"Rx (Medicate)" is a song performed by Canadian rock band Theory of a Deadman, a track on their sixth studio album, Wake Up Call (2017).

It was produced by Martin Terefe and recorded at Terefe's Kensaltown Studios in London. Along with the group's usual hard rock sound, the song uses elements of pop and country music genres.

  • «Rx (Medicate)» es una canción escrita y grabada por la banda canadiense de rock Theory of a Deadman de su sexto álbum de estudio, Wake Up Call (2017). Fue producido por Martin Terefe y grabado en Kensaltown Studios de Terefe en Londres. Junto con el sonido de hard rock habitual del grupo, la canción utiliza elementos de géneros de música pop y country. La transición de la banda al género pop ha sido asociada con el cantante Tyler Connolly, por la habilidad para tocar el piano recientemente adquirida, que forzó un cambio en su estilo de composición. "Rx (Medicate)" se lanzó junto con su vídeo musical el 27 de julio de 2017, como el primer sencillo de Wake Up Call y sirvió como una descarga instantánea de los pedidos anticipados del álbum. Recibió críticas mixtas de críticos de música y fue elogiado por ser socialmente consciente, pero criticado por aspectos de su música y letras. El sencillo se convirtió en el tercer sencillo de Theory of a Deadman para encabezar la lista Billboard US Mainstream Rock y fue certificado por Oro. Le valió a la banda el Canción No.1 de Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) y fue nominada para la "Canción de rock del año" en los iHeartRadio Music Awards de 2018.

It received mixed reviews from music critics and was praised for being socially aware but criticized for aspects of its music and lyrics. The single became Theory of a Deadman's third single to top the Billboard U.S. Mainstream Rock chart, and was certified platinum by Music Canada and multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It earned the band a No. 1 Song Award from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) and was nominated for "Rock Song of the Year" at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

At live concerts, the band encourage their audience to seek help if they are battling addiction and invite their fans to share their personal stories. They also sell lapel pins bearing the song's title to benefit Shatterproof at their concerts. (en)
