"Gravity" is the lead single from Out of Nothing, the fourth album by British band Embrace. Originally written by Chris Martin, the song was first performed live by Coldplay in 2003. Ultimately, Martin gave the song to Embrace. "Gravity" charted at #7 on the UK Singles Chart. It was released on CD format and red 7" vinyl. It later became the theme song to the TV show Mike Bassett: Manager, starring Ricky Tomlinson.

The b-side "Wasted" started off as "Logical Love Song" and was originally conceived during the Drawn from Memory sessions.

"Gravity" was re-recorded by Coldplay in late 2005 and is included as a b-side on their single "Talk".

The songs "Too Many Times", "The Shot's Still Ringing", and "Waterfall" are featured on the b-sides compilation Dry Kids: B-Sides 1997-2005.
