So you think that I'm alone? But being alone's the only way to be When you step outside You spend life fighting for your sanity This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? If you want to be free Below the ground's the only place to be 'Cause in this life You spend time running from depravity This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? Bring wings to the weak And bring grace to the strong Make all evil stumbles as it flies in the world All the tribes come and the mighty will crumble We must brave this night And have faith in love. I'm trying to find my peace I was made to believe there's something wrong with me! And it hurts my heart Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see? This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for? This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold... This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for Do you know it's a cold, cold war? Do you? Do you? Do you? It's a cold, cold war You better know what you're fighting for Bye, bye, bye, bye Don't you cry, when I say goodbye?

Foi lançada em 12 de fevereiro de 2010, exatamente um dia após o primeiro single da faixa “Tightrope”.
A faixa foi escrita e produzida pela própria Janelle Monáe, Nathaniel Irvin III e Charles Joseph II.
“Cold War” combina ritmos new wave com Afro‑funk, apresentando um padrão de bateria que lembra a batida de “B.O.B” (2000) do OutKast.
A música recebeu elogios como uma das melhores do álbum de estreia *The ArchAndroid* (2010).
O videoclipe, composto por um único plano de Monáe contra uma parede preta, foi aclamado pelos críticos como uma obra de arte única.
