Wake Me Up (Girls Aloud song)

"Wake Me Up" is a song by British-Irish girl group Girls Aloud, released as the second single from their second studio album, What Will the Neighbours Say? (2004). The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, Lisa Cowling, Yves Dessca, and produced by Higgins and his production team Xenomania.

The song is a pop rock track featuring guitars and a heavier sound than their previous releases. Lyrically, "Wake Me Up" is about the feeling of being trapped in a relationship and wanting to escape.

"Wake Me Up" was a commercial success, reaching number four on the UK Singles Chart and charting within the top ten in Ireland. The song was praised for its energetic sound and departure from the typical girl group pop of the time. It has since been recognised as one of Girls Aloud's signature songs and a highlight of their discography. The single was supported by a music video featuring the group performing the song in a grungy, industrial setting.
