"Sing" is the lead single from Travis' third studio album, The Invisible Band. The music video features a food fight between the band members, which was re-enacted in their performance of the song on Top of the Pops.
B-Sides include a cover of Queen's "Killer Queen" which includes guest vocalist Jason Falkner formerly of the band Jellyfish, and Andy Dunlop's writing and vocal debut in "You Don't Know What I'm Like".
The song was featured in the 2002 Adam Sandler film Mr. Deeds, in the 2005 The Office episode "The Client" and in the 2006 Torchwood episodes "Ghost Machine" and "Greeks Bearing Gifts". It was also used in the TV show Casualty, in the episode "Waving But Not Drowning" in which character Barney Woolfe was running to get help as his friend had been stabbed
The song was written for Healy's partner Nora, as she wouldn't sing to him.

[edit] Trivia
 |
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- In the music video, there is a woman throwing darts at a television with Travis playing on it. This parodies the Beatles' movie Help!, in which a member of a cult is throwing darts at a screen where a black and white film is playing of The Beatles performing their song Help!.
- There are two different edits of the video- one has at the end of a video, a butler walking in with a telephone with a call for someone, and gets hit in the face with a pie. The other version instead has a waitress walking in holding a jug getting hit.
