"Stand Up Tall" is the fourth single released by the British rapper Dizzee Rascal and the lead single from his second album Showtime.[citation needed]

The single became Dizzee's fourth Top 40 hit when it entered the charts at number 10 on its release. It was the first Top 10 release from the rapper. "Stand Up Tall" spent a total of six weeks in the Top 75, the first single from Dizzee to have been released on two alternative CD singles.[citation needed]

On Jools Holland's 2010 Hootenanny television show, Rascal performed a version of the song over the backing track of Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit".[1]

The song is used on the EA Sports' video-game, FIFA Street[2] and in the 2005 film The 40-Year-Old Virgin.[citation needed]
