"And When I Die" is a song written by American singer Laura Nyro. It was first recorded by American folk group Peter, Paul and Mary in 1966. Nyro then recorded it on her 1968 debut album More Than a New Discovery. However, the song is best known for its cover version by American rock group Blood, Sweat & Tears, which reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100

"And When I Die" was one of the first songs written by Nyro, written when she was 17 years old. She then sold the song to folk group Peter, Paul and Mary for $5000[2], who then recorded the song for their sixth studio album The Peter, Paul and Mary Album.

Later, the song was covered by American rock group Blood, Sweat & Tears for their self-titled second album and was eventually released as the third single from the album, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100; the album's previous two singles had also stalled at #2 on the Hot 100.
