"Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)" is a power ballad by Welsh rock band Lostprophets. "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)" was released to American radio on 16 May 2006.[1] The song was released as the first single from their third studio album Liberation Transmission on June 19, 2006, preceding the album's release by a week.

The first live performance of the single in the UK was in the Muni Arts Centre in Pontypridd on 24 April 2006 prior to it even getting radioplay. The B-sides found on the single came from the same sessions – all of which are brand new tracks.

The single entered the UK Singles Chart at number eight, making it the highest performing Lostprophets single along with "Last Train Home". It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. The single became the band's second highest charting song in the United States, peaking at #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts.
