"Just One Fix" came off Ministry's 1992 album ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ, better known as Psalm 69, as its third single, and it is industrial metal at its most gleefully abrasive. Al Jourgensen wrote the words and produced it with Paul Barker, sharing the music credit with Barker, Michael Balch and Bill Rieflin, and they laced it with samples: snatches of Sid and Nancy and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, plus Frank Sinatra, lifted from The Man with the Golden Arm, delivering the title phrase itself.

Peter Christopherson of Coil directed the video, which put William S. Burroughs, one of Jourgensen's influences, on screen, and Burroughs also supplied the single's cover art. In March 2023 Rolling Stone ranked it number 49 among the 100 greatest heavy metal songs of all time.
