"Lift" is the second single by Australian singer Shannon Noll from his second album with the same name. The boxing-themed video clip for this song was shot in an unused warehouse in Sydney's Marrickville by Australian director Anthony Rose, who also directed Noll's music videos for "Drive", "What About Me" and "Shine".

It debuted at number thirteen during the busy Christmas season and in its third week on the ARIA Singles chart, it rose to and peaked at #10. Although the single was Shannon's lowest charting of his career so far, sales of the single were very strong and the single became Shannon's 6th single to reach gold or platinum sales and also became Shannon's longest running top 100 hit so far. Due to the positive and uplifting theme of the song, it was chosen to become the theme song for the successful Australian edition of the US reality series The Biggest Loser, further increasing the single's popularity.
