"PrizeFighter" is a song by American country music recording artist Trisha Yearwood and the titular song from her compilation album, PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit (2014). Written by Jessi Alexander, Sarah Buxton, and Ross Copperman, it features background vocals from American recording artist Kelly Clarkson. An uplifting country ballad, "PrizeFighter" was released on September 15, 2014 by RCA Records Nashville and Gwendolyn Records as the lead single from the album.
After releasing Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love, Yearwood parted ways with Big Machine Records and ventured into other projects, such as starring in her own television program, Trisha's Southern Kitchen, on the Food Network. From 2008 to 2013, she only appeared as a guest vocalist on the albums of other recording artists — such as Everything Is Fine by Josh Turner, Mr. Lucky by Chris Isaak, Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences by Garth Brooks, and Wrapped in Red by Kelly Clarkson. In 2014, she launched her own record label, Gwendolyn Records, and together with Brooks, her husband, she entered on a joint venture deal with RCA Records Nashville. She remarked: "We wanted to be on the same label because we thought it would be easier and more fun because we want to do duet records, we wanted to be able to do whatever we wanted and we've never been on the same record label, so it was kind of born out of looking to find a home that wanted to work with both of us."
