Шаблон:Infobox song "Figure It Out" is a song by the rock musician Serj Tankian. The song was released as the lead single from his third solo album Harakiri.

Reception

Writing for Artist Direct, Rick Florino complemented the opening guitar, stating "[it] slashes intensely as the legend's poetry rises and falls with the inflection of his voice."[1] Iaan Robinson of CraveOnline also praised the track and compared it to Tankian's work in System of a Down.[2]

Consequence of Sound reviewer Adam Kivel criticized the line "Why pretend that we don’t know/ that CEOs are the disease?" for "attempting to force issues into the listener's face".[3] Steve Lepore of PopMatters was also less than enthusiastic about the track, calling the talk-singing sections of the song cliche.[4]

Music video

A lyric video was released for the song on May 1, 2012, the same day as the single release. The song's official music video was later released on May 25, and was directed by Ara Soudijian.[5]
