Singing A Song is the eighth album by British pop group Brotherhood of Man. The album was released on Pye Records in December 1979 and was their final album with the label. Pye Records was about to fold at this point, and this album was released to finish their contract and was made up of new recordings as well as earlier unreleased and rare material. The album featured no singles in the UK, but track "Singing A Song" was released as a single in Spain.

Tracks "The Circus Came To Town" and "Got A Funny Feeling" had been released in Europe as B-Sides in 1977 and 1976 respectively. The former had been available as "Circus" and was later released on CD compilations as "The Night the Circus Came To Town". Track "Caravan" was referred to on the label as "Our Caravan".
