"F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)" (censored on the single art and publicly as "F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)") is a song by American pop/R&B singer Frankee from her debut studio album, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly. It was released as the lead single from the album in March 2004. The song was released as a response to Eamon's song "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)". The song reached number one in the United Kingdom, knocking Eamon's song off the top spot there and remaining in that position for three weeks. The song was also a number-one success in Australia.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles was heavily critical of both songs and recorded and broadcast his own spoof version—"We Want You to Leave"—claiming that both singles were the product of what amounted to nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy by Eamon and Frankee's record labels.

The song was included on the Australian compilation album So Fresh: The Hits of Spring 2004, as it was a chart topper during the spring (June to August) of 2004 in Australia.
