'''"Discipline"''' is a single from [[Nine Inch Nails]] and also the fourth track on Halo 27, ''[[The Slip]].'' It contains a beat reminiscent of "[[Only (song)|Only]]" from ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'', and its lyrics seem to have a sado-masochistic overtone.
The song was released to radio stations simultaneously around 2:30pm EST on April 22, 2008, being mastered only the day before, and was then made available as a free download via the official Nine Inch Nails websitediscipline.nin.com, which eventually redirected to [[theslip.nin.com]]. When downloaded, it comes with track art and a note found in the comments box of the song info saying "Go to [[nin.com|www.nin.com]] on May 5", which was the release date of the then-unannounced album ''The Slip.'' The lyrics are also contained.
==About=="Discipline" is the first radio single from NIN since becoming an independent recording act, following their final release under a major record label, 2007's ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]].'' Due to the advertisement and short notice of the release, the song was posted on YouTube almost immediately after release. The [[Multitracks|multitrack files]] for this track can be found were released at [[Remix.nin.com|remix.nin.com]]. Though the song is not advertised as being available for download by itself, the request form for it is still active, and can be accessed through the link at the bottom of this page.
The track art resembles a lowercase 'd'. It also resembles a person sitting with their knees drawn up to their chest, facing to the left. Lastly, the shape also resembles the portion of the [[Media:800x600.jpg|Art is Resistance logo]] that contains the star. For the physical release booklet, the red line on the "Discipline" artwork continues over to the opposite lyrics page crossing over the phrase "I cannot help myself".
