"Down So Long" is a song written by American singer Jewel and produced by Patrick Leonard for Jewel's second album, Spirit (1998). Jewel wrote the song in 1992, when she was 18 years old. This was the second single that Jewel had not re-recorded vocals for its single release. The single release received a very slight change in the instrumental and was released on March 16, 1999.

A commercial single was not released within the United States, but the song peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart regardless. It also peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart and number 21 on the Pop Songs chart. Outside the United States, "Down So Long" charted successfully in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, reaching numbers 38 and 16, respectively, but it failed to break the top 100 in Australia. In Canada, the song reached number seven, becoming the second top-ten single from Spirit after the number-one single "Hands". It also reached number seven on Canada's Adult Contemporary chart.
