"Don't Look Back into the Sun" is a song released by the Libertines as their fourth single. NME magazine awarded it single of the week upon its release.[2] "Don't Look Back into the Sun" was released as a single only, therefore not appearing on any albums.
The single was released in three versions in the United Kingdom featuring a re-recording of "Death on the Stairs" produced by Bernard Butler. With "Death on the Stairs" present the single was sometimes labeled as "Don't Look Back into the Sun"/"Death on the Stairs".
In various territories "Don't Look Back into the Sun" was released as an EP combining various UK B-sides on a single CD. It was also released as a seven track EP in Japan, featuring the music video for the song "I Get Along" as the eighth track.
"Don't Look Back into the Sun" was featured in the 2005 film The Long Weekend.[3] and on the intro for episodes of the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey. The song was also used at the end of the first episode of The Inbetweeners,[4] as well as being used for Kill Your Darlings ending credits, and the 2015 film Steve Jobs, during a sequence of news montages detailing the history of Steve Jobs and Apple Inc in the decade between Jobs’ launch of the NeXTcube and his eventual return to Apple in 1998.
In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Don't Look Back into the Sun" at number five in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever, one place ahead of the Libertines' "Time for Heroes".[5] In October 2011, NME placed it at number 71 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[6]
