Every Rose Has Its Thorn é uma canção da banda Poison, escrita pelo vocalista Bret Michaels. A canção foi inspirada numa noite em que Michaels ligou para a sua namorada e ouviu a voz de outro homem no fundo, levando-o a perceber que ela estava tendo um caso. Ele escreveu a música enquanto estava num lavandaria em Dallas, Texas, refletindo sobre o seu relacionamento fracassado.
