"Why" is a song by English singer Gabrielle. It was written by Gabrielle, longtime collaborators Ben Wolff and Andy Dean, and Paul Weller for her fifth studio album, Always (2007). The song was one of the final songs recorded for the album and written around a sample of Weller's 1993 song "Wild Wood". Weller enjoyed Gabrielle's interpretation of the song so much, he recorded new vocals for the track following Gabrielle's recording of the original demo version of "Why". It also features David Cracknell, then political editor of The Sunday Times, on piano. Selected as the album's lead single, "Why" was released on 17 September 2007 as a digital download and one week later, on 24 September 2007, as a physical CD single. It charted at number 42 on the UK Singles Chart, her second consecutive single to miss the top 40.
