"Roll with It" is a song recorded by Steve Winwood for his album Roll with It, released on Virgin Records. It was written by Winwood and long-time collaborator Will Jennings. Publishing rights organization BMI later had Motown songwriters Holland-Dozier-Holland credited with co-writing the song due to its resemblance to the Junior Walker hit "(I'm a) Roadrunner".
