What Will the Neighbours Say? is the second studio album by English-Irish all-female pop group Girls Aloud. It was released in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2004 by Polydor Records. Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania were enlisted to produce the entire album, allowing for more inventive ideas. What Will the Neighbours Say? explores various subgenres of pop music.

What Will the Neighbours Say? was released to mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. It yielded five top-ten singles and had high sales, going double platinum in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The album was followed by Girls Aloud's first tour, the What Will the Neighbours Say...? Tour.

To celebrate the album's 20th anniversary, it was reissued in March 2024 in three formats, a sky-blue vinyl LP, a picture disc vinyl LP, and a 3CD Deluxe Edition, as well as a digital download and on streaming. The non-vinyl editions feature the original UK album along with remixes, alternative cuts, rarities, and three previously unreleased tracks: a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" originally slated for a shelved 2005 reissue of the album[1] and two original songs, "Disco Bunny" and "Baby When You Go."[2]
