"Rock Bottom" is the 17th episode of the first season of the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. It originally was produced in 1999 and aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on March 15, 2000. The series follows the adventures of the title character in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. In the episode, SpongeBob becomes stranded in a hadopelagic zone called Rock Bottom.

The episode was written by Paul Tibbitt, Ennio Torresan, Jr., and David Fain, and was directed by Tom Yasumi. Upon release, "Rock Bottom" was viewed by two million households and received positive reviews from media critics.

Rock Bottom is the second solo album by former Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt. It was released on 26 July 1974 by Virgin Records. Although Rock Bottom is technically Wyatt's second solo LP, he has stated in several interviews that he considers its predecessor The End of an Ear as juvenilia and not part of the recognised "canon" of Wyatt solo records. The album was produced by Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason.

"Rock Bottom" was the British entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977, performed in English by Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran. It was also written and produced by de Paul and Moran.

The song says that when people are in a bad situation they should work to solve problems and not be pessimistic about tragedies. Apparently it represents the situation at the time; Eurovision 1977 was almost canceled due to budget restrictions. The BBC, who had to host the contest that year, did not give the song its whole-hearted support.

The song was performed ninth on the night, following Portugal's Os Amigos with " Portugal no coração" and preceding Greece's Pascalis, Marianna, Robert & Bessy with " Mathima Solfege". At the close of voting, it had received 121 points, placing second in a field of 18.

It was succeeded as British representative at the 1978 Contest by Co-Co with " The Bad Old Days".

It charted in several European countries, topping the charts in Switzerland, #2 in Austria, #4 in Germany, #6 in Sweden, #7 in Ireland and Norway and #10 in France. In the UK, it reached #19. On the basis of sales from the record-buying public of Europe, it was the winning entry, outperforming the contest's winner, a quarter of a million copies being sold in Germany alone.

The duo also recorded a German version of "Rock Bottom" called "Für Immer" and this was covered by the band Wir. Instrumental versions of the song also appeared on James Last's album Auf Last Geht's Los. Other versions have been recorded by the Studio Group, Armi & Danny, Jörgen Petersenin Orkesteri, Ted Weber, Brothers Of The World, Leni, Günter Noris, Inger Lise & Stein, Daniel Janin and The Hiltonaires and, most recently Denny Wright.

"Rock Bottom" is a song written by J.R. Cobb and Buddy Buie, and recorded by American country music artist Wynonna Judd. It was released in February 1994 as the fourth single from the album Tell Me Why. The song reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

"Rock Bottom" is a song by American actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, featuring the American funk pop band DNCE. The song was written by Mattias Larsson, Robin Fredriksson, Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, and produced by Mattman & Robin. The song was released on February 27, 2016 by Republic Records. The song serves as the second single for Steinfeld's debut extended play, Haiz (2015), after " Love Myself".
