"'''Real'''" is a song by the [[Goo Goo Dolls]] that is featured on the ''[[AT&T Team USA Soundtrack]]'', a compilation containing exclusive tracks by different artists to benefit and encourage the [[United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics|U.S. Olympic Team]]. The song was also released on {{Start date|2008|7|2}} to iTunes stores, with the exception of stores in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The song was later released onto the remaining iTunes stores on {{Start date|2008|8|8}}, coinciding with the start of the [[2008 Beijing Olympics]].

John changed the first line of the lyrics to "You read the news, the stories never change" in the live versions he played after the Europe 2008 tour, probably because the original line also appears in [[Stay with You (Goo Goo Dolls song)|Stay With You]]: "These streets, turn me inside out".
