This article is about the single by UK band "The Beloved". For the rave/dance track called "Sweet Harmony" see Liquid (musician)

"Sweet Harmony" is a hit single by UK band The Beloved. It became one of their biggest hits, peaking at #8 on the UK singles chart. None of the band's other singles have made into the Top 10, which is why many consider this the band's signature song.

The song gained notoriety for its controversial music video, which consisted of a naked Jon Marsh and a bevy of other equally naked females lipsynching the lyrics. In an interview, Marsh pointed out that the video was "not intended to be sexual" and was "as A-sexual as you can get"[citation needed]. The video is supposed to represent unity between humans.
