"Ouch" is a song performed, written and produced by the English hip hop group N-Dubz.

The key difference between the two tracks is that "Ouch" involves the man in the relationship cheating whereas in "I Swear" it's the woman.

[4] "Ouch" combines elements of pop, British hip hop as well as R&B or blue-eyed soul.

The whole structure of the track revolves around a call-and-response argument between two lovers who in this case are played by the group members.

The group planned on releasing the track much earlier than they did, but due to conflict with previous label Polydor Records they were unable to until they were signed with All Around the World.

And then Dappy and Fazer come from a boys point of view and they're sort of asking for me back, "it's not my fault", that kind of business.

The acoustic version was later made available for download on iTunes during the single's promotion period before the release of "Papa Can You Hear Me?

"[9] IndieLondon reviewed the song: "A big Kiss FM anthem, N-Dubz Ouch begins as a moody slice of smooth groove R’n’B before trading boy-girl raps over a story of bickering lovers.

The video begins with Dappy in a romantic setting with another woman whilst Tulisa is seen walking toward the house with a large suitcase after arriving from tour.

Another scene then features all group members standing side-by-side in a black room with white and blue neon lights.

Tulisa starts throwing house objects at Fazer, who wears numerous types of outfits throughout the music video.

As a result, Dappy has another new woman visit him and a romantic situation then occurs between the two of them as Shanikwa walks in on them with a response of anger.
