"Open Your Eyes" is the fifth and final UK single and the fifth single in total from Snow Patrol's 2006 album Eyes Open [1]. It was released on February 12, 2007.

The song's music video is actual footage from the classic cult film C'était un rendez-vous by director Claude Lelouch.

The song is used as the theme music to BBC One's Football Focus. The song gained more popularity after being featured during the Season 12 finale, and the Season 13 premiere of ER. Sales of the song on iTunes rose as the song was later featured in a third season episode of The 4400, an episode of Grey's Anatomy's third season, and the pilot episode of The Black Donnellys.

The song is also heard in the trailer for the upcoming MTV Film Stop-Loss.
