The lyric from Chumbawamba's 'Tubthumping' finishes with the word 'again.' The line expresses the song's recurring theme of recovering after setbacks and returning to the refrain.
Chumbawamba, an English band known for its anarchist and politically engaged outlook, released 'Tubthumping' in 1997. The song combines a repetitive rock chorus with electronic and folk-influenced elements, making its message unusually direct and easy for crowds to sing.
The band had released music for years before achieving mainstream success with this track. A common misunderstanding is that 'Tubthumping' was written specifically as a sports anthem. Its broad use in stadiums and broadcasts helped create that association, but the song's lyrics and the group's political background are broader than sport. The recording reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and became Chumbawamba's best-known international hit.
