"A Song for the Lovers" is a song by English singer-songwriter Richard Ashcroft, included as the opening track on his 2000 album, Alone with Everybody, as well as his first solo single following the break-up of the Verve.

The song was released on 3 April 2000 as the first single from the album in the United Kingdom and Australia.

"A Song for the Lovers" was originally written by Richard Ashcroft as a demo track for the Verve's studio album Urban Hymns; three different versions were recorded, but the song did not make the final cut.

The music video for "A Song for the Lovers" premiered in May 2000 and was directed by Jonathan Glazer.

It is shot in real-time with an element of diegetic sound unusual in most music videos.
