So Why So Sad was released by Manic Street Preachers in 2001 (see 2001 in music) and was jointly the first single to be released from the Know Your Enemy album. All three members of the band - James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire - share the writing credits.
Surprisingly launched on the same day as "Found That Soul" this was the first sign of the Manics since the surprise number 1 hit "The Masses Against The Classes" thirteen months earlier.
It reached a highest UK chart position of number 8 on March 10 2001, while "Found That Soul" reached number 9.
The CD also included versions of "Pedastal" and a remix of "So Why So Sad" by Australian outfit The Avalanches whereas the 7" included a live version of "You Stole The Sun From My Heart".
