"Turn" is the fourth single from Indie band Travis' second studio album, The Man Who. The single peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the Scottish Singles Chart. It also reached the top 40 in Ireland and New Zealand.

Music video

Two music videos were shot for the single. The first video, included on the group's Singles DVD, features Healy engaged in a push-up contest. This video was filmed in Hackney on the Nightingale Estate. The estate has since been demolished. British actress Julie Smith was featured in the video. The second featured a staged performance by the band.

B-sides

The British release of the single was accompanied by a cover of Britney Spears's hit single "...Baby One More Time". Spears herself heard the Travis version while shopping, and commented by saying it was 'a total shock' and was 'a very good cover'.
