"Invisible" is a song by English singer Alison Moyet, written by Lamont Dozier (of the songwriting team Holland–Dozier–Holland) for her debut album, Alf. Released in November 1984, "Invisible" peaked at No. 21 on the UK Singles Chart and became Moyet's highest-charting solo single in the United States, peaking at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song reached the top 10 in Ireland and New Zealand, peaking at No. 6 and No. 4, respectively. The single's B-side is the Marvin Gaye song "Hitch Hike", which has backing from Darts.
In interviews for her 2017 tour, Moyet said she would not be performing the song again. She explained that it was not a slam against the song itself, but that the lyrics and message of the song, written more than 30 years earlier, did not resonate with her any more.[2]
