"I'm Waking Up to Us" was a single released by Belle & Sebastian on Jeepster in 2001. The track saw the band work with another producer besides usual collaborator Tony Doogan for the first time – Mike Hurst, former member of The Springfields and producer of Petula Clark and Cat Stevens. Unfortunately these sessions did not turn out quite as the band had imagined.

He's a great guy but he didn't deliver the finished product, we had to work very hard afterwards to polish it up. We really need a catalyst, someone who can harness the creative chaos of the group. I suppose we're dreaming of a George Martin figure, but it's not going to happen.[1]

The front cover features band member Sarah Martin. All three tracks from the single were later collected on the Push Barman to Open Old Wounds compilation. The single reached #39 in the UK singles chart. It's also ranked #73 in the "The Top 100 Singles of 2000-04", of Pitchfork Media
