"Valerie" is an indie rock song written by the English band The Zutons for the band's second studio album, Tired of Hanging Around (2006). Released as the album's second single on 19 June 2006 in the United Kingdom, it peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart. The music video was directed by Scott Lyon.
The song was used by ITV during their coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, alongside the Kasabian cover version of David Bowie's "Heroes" and Country Girl by Primal Scream.
In 2007, Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse recorded a jazz/R&B version for Ronson's album Version, which became an international hit and outsold the original, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart.
