Positivity (Suede song)

"Positivity" is a song by the British alternative rock band Suede, released as the first single from their sixth studio album, A New Morning (2002). It marked a significant shift in the band's sound, moving away from the glam rock influences of their earlier work toward a more upbeat and anthemic style.

The song was written by Brett Anderson (vocals), Richard Oakes (guitar), and Neil Codling (keyboards). It was produced by Stephen Street, who had previously worked with the band on their earlier albums Suede and Dog Man Star.

"Positivity" is characterized by its prominent use of acoustic guitars, a driving rhythm section, and Anderson's soaring vocals. The lyrics focus on themes of optimism, hope, and resilience in the face of adversity. The song's chorus is particularly catchy and memorable, contributing to its commercial success.

The single was released in September 2002 and reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Suede's first top 20 hit in six years. While some fans and critics were initially surprised by the band's change in direction, "Positivity" helped to re-establish Suede in the public consciousness after a period of relative inactivity. The song became a staple of the band's live performances and is considered one of their more popular tracks from the A New Morning era.
