"Naïve" is a song by English rock band The Kooks and is featured on their debut album, Inside In/Inside Out. It was released 27 March 2006 as the fourth single from that album, charting at #5 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2006 in British music). The best-selling single of their careers, "Naïve" was also the UK's nineteenth best selling single of 2006.[1] It has also done relatively well in New Zealand, reaching number 15 on the combined sales/airplay RIANZ chart, and it is still currently in the top 20 there, after eleven weeks on the charts. The song additionally charted in the United States, peaking at #22 on the US Modern Rock Tracks Chart. Lily Allen did a cover of "Naïve" for a live session on the Jo Whiley show. The song has also been covered by former Sugababes member Mutya Buena as a B-side for her debut single "Real Girl".

"Naïve" was named runner-up to Klaxons' "Atlantis to Interzone" in MTV2's single of 2006 list.

Naïve was written by Luke Pritchard when he was just 15 years of age.
