Sing It Back is een single van de Engelse dance-popgroep Moloko, bestaande uit Róisín Murphy en Mark Brydon. Het nummer kwam uit op 23 augustus 1999 en verscheen voor het eerst in zijn oorspronkelijke versie op het album I Am Not a Doctor. De single kwam de hitlijsten binnen na een remix van diskjockey Boris Dlugosch.

"Sing It Back" is a song written and performed by Irish-English electronic music duo Moloko (Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon). It first appeared in its original version on Moloko's second album, I Am Not a Doctor (1998); it was released as a single on 8 March 1999, reaching number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. The song experienced chart success after it was remixed by DJ Boris Dlugosch, peaking at number four in the UK in September 1999. Murphy had started writing the lyrics while clubbing in New York City, and knew the song was at heart a dance track, but the group wanted to record it in a different artistic fashion for its album version.

Together with their record company they commissioned mixes by Todd Terry (who had turned Everything But the Girl's "Missing" into an international hit). Moloko was not satisfied with the Terry mix and had to convince their label Echo Records to put out the Dlugosch version instead. The remixed version was eventually featured on over 100 compilations. It was later added on Moloko's third album, Things to Make and Do, after hitting the top ten on the UK Singles Chart. In 1999, it reached number one on the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart. Its music video was directed by Dawn Shadforth. As a form of barter for the remix, Moloko vocalist Róisín Murphy later co-wrote and appeared on Dlugosch's "Never Enough" single, starring in the video for that release as well.
