"Swoon" is a song by The Chemical Brothers, released as the first official single from their 2010 album Further.[1] The song was played on a few occasions by The Chemical Brothers prior to its release in their DJ sets.[2] On 6 May 2010, an official video of the radio edit was uploaded on Parlophone's official YouTube page for the single.[3] The radio edit of Swoon was released as a digital download on iTunes on 9 May 2010. The song entered at number 100 in the UK Singles Chart, the lowest chart position the band has had to date, until it re-entered the charts shortly after at number 88 and again at number 85. Before the song appeared on Further, it appeared on a free CD which came in The Times newspaper; on 16 May 2010. The untitled CD is often called simply The Chemical Brothers – however, only the radio edit was featured.

The Boys Noize remix of "Swoon" featured on the soundtrack of Pro Evolution Soccer 2012.
