"Hole in the Head" is a song performed by British girl group Sugababes, released on 13 October 2003 as the lead single from their third studio album, Three.

"Hole in the Head" was written by Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell, Nick Coler and Niara Scarlett, in collaboration with the Sugababes' members—Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Heidi Range, for the group's third studio album, Three.

[5] "Hole in the Head" draws musical influences from German vocal group Boney M. and the "swagger rock" of American recording artist Madonna.

[4] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger describes its sound as "skiffle-y, schaffle-y, ska-ish acoustic big beat", similarly to Girls Aloud's "Love Machine" (2004), another Xenomania production.

K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic compared the song to the Sugababes' previous number one single "Freak like Me" and called it "no less enjoyable" than the latter.

[4] A writer from NME wrote that "Hole in the Head" showcases the Sugababes' "twin strengths", and applauded their vocal performance in the song.

Music called the track "seductive",[17] while Alex Fletcher from Digital Spy noted the song's "spiky attitude".

[18] Pat Blashill of Rolling Stone wrote that "Hole in the Head" "clip-clops along like Destiny's Child on diet soda".

[21][22] "Hole in the Head" spent thirteen weeks on the chart, and sold 185,000 copies in the UK by April 2010, ranking as their sixth highest-selling single in the country.

[25] "Hole in the Head" debuted and peaked at number two on the Irish Singles Chart, a position it held for two consecutive weeks.

The music video for "Hole in the Head" was directed by Matthew Rolston and filmed on various locations in London in September 2003.

In the end, while the trio is performing in front of the crowd, the girls come out first grabbing the guys and throwing them off the stage and start damaging the instruments.
