Ocean Spray was released by Manic Street Preachers on June 4 2001 and was the third single to be released from the Know Your Enemy album. All three members of the band, James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire share the writing credits.
The song was inspired by the cranberry juice drink that James would take into his mother Sue whilst she was in hospital undergoing treatment for cancer, dying from the disease eventually. It also featured the first recorded lyric written by James.
The CD included "Groundhog Days", "Just A Kid", and an "Ocean Spray" video whereas the cassette had "Little Trolls".
The song reached number 15 in the UK charts on June 16 2001.
