Underdogs (Manic Street Preachers song)

"Underdogs" is the title of a song by the Manic Street Preachers, it is taken from their eighth studio album Send Away the Tigers. The single is non chart eligible and was released as a thank you to fans for their support over the years. Formats available are one sided 7" vinyl and digital download. The 7" version sold out instantly on pre-order as it was limited to 1000 copies, but the download is available for free from the bands official web site.

A fan competition was announced at the time of the song's announcement, asking fans to send in photos, videos and other visual media they thought fit the song and its theme. The final video, composed of clips from the band's previous videos and fan-sent material, was released on the band's website on April 12th.

The song abruptly cuts from the chorus to the next segment at 1:08. It is unknown whether this is a mistake or is intentional. Curiously this cut did not exist in the streamable version of the song given at the announcement of the competition.
