"Swallow" is a 1994 song by English Britpop band Sleeper, written by the band's vocalist and guitarist Louise Wener along with band guitarist Jon Stewart, and produced by Paul Corkett. "Swallow" was released as the follow up to Sleeper's debut single release, the "Alice in Vain" extended play.

At the end of 1994, "Swallow" was announced as the #48 song in John Peel's Festive Fifty.[1]The following year, both "Swallow" and "Twisted" were re-recorded for inclusion on Smart, the band's debut album.[2]

Background

"It's actually a misunderstood song", Wener told the band's official fanzine, denying that the song was about oral sex, adding: "it's about a relationship breaking down. It's actually a really sad song. It's also about when people steal all your secrets and know all there is to know about you and the image is a metaphor for that."[2] Indolent released "Swallow" on 7" and CD single at the end of January 1994, backed with studio versions of "Twisted" and "One Girl Dreaming", two tracks which the band were then playing as part of their live set. To promote the single, Sleeper performed a four song set of "Twisted", "Pyrotechnician", "Bedside Manners" and "Hunch" at their first Peel Session.[1]
