"Rubberband Girl" is a song by Kate Bush, and was the first of four singles to be released from The Red Shoes in 1993.
"Rubberband Girl" was released September 6, 1993 and peaked at number 12 in the UK Singles Chart. Bush encourages us to be more flexible and resilient in this song, in short, to "go with the flow".
"Rubberband Girl" marked Bush's return from her third three-year hiatus. Not counting "Rocket Man" (her contribution to the Elton John tribute in 1991), this was her first UK release in 39 months. Three different versions of "Rubberband Girl" were released commercially: the LP and extended mixes shown here, and a disco version called the U.S. Mix which was released towards the end of 1994 on the "And So Is Love" single. Oddly enough, the U.S. Mix was never officially issued in the U.S.
The B-Side to the single was "Big Stripey Lie"; a distressing song in which a woman attempts to come to terms with being betrayed by her lover.
