"Going Out" is the first single from English rock band Supergrass's second studio album, In It for the Money (1997). It was released on 26 February 1996, more than a year before the album, and reached five on the UK Singles Chart and number 20 on the Irish Singles Chart. The song was apparently originally written in the key of E because the engine of Supergrass' tour bus would tick at that same musical pitch.[2]
"Going Out" caused problems when Danny Goffey accused Gaz Coombes of basing the lyrics of the song on himself and Pearl Lowe's (his then girlfriend) involvement in the British tabloids.[3]
