"Ship to Wreck" is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. It was released as the third single from the band's upcoming third studio album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. The indie pop song carries an "upbeat, bouncy sound," in contrast to the lyrics, which speak of self-destructive behaviour. [1] The song was almost cut from the record, as producer Marcus Dravs had told Welch not to write more songs about water, a recurring symbol in the band's previous album, Ceremonials, but Welch managed to include it.
