"Weak" is a song by British rock band Skunk Anansie, released on 15 January 1996 by One Little Indian as the fourth and final single from their debut album, Paranoid & Sunburnt (1995). The song was produced by the band with Sylvia Massy and is one of Skunk Anansie's well known releases. Skin performs a slower, more ballad-like version at many of her solo gigs. The song has also been covered by Rod Stewart on his 1998 album, When We Were the New Boys.

Critical reception

Roy Wilkinson from Select wrote, "'Weak' could be their 'Under the Bridge', an understated, casually memorable verse leading into a chorus thas has as much to do with Heart as Metallica."[1]

Music video

The music video for "Weak" was directed by duo Hammer & Tongs. It is filmed primarily (with cutaways to third party views) from the point of view of a collapsed cameraman in what appears to be a restaurant carpark (Route 66). The cameraman collapses behind a car which then drives off to show Skin and the band forming to perform for the offset camera. The recording is interrupted by a little boy who, after being pulled out of the way of the camera abruptly, decides to run off with it and the band gives chase after him.
