"Sonnet" is a song by the English rock band the Verve and is featured on their third album, Urban Hymns.

At the start of 1998, Hut wanted to release another single from the album, an idea which the band disagreed with.

Unusually, Hut pressed them on this matter, and so the band finally agreed to release "Sonnet", but only in a format that would make it ineligible for chart recognition.

Consequently, "Sonnet" was released as part of a set of four 12-inch records (backed by "Stamped", "So Sister" and "Echo Bass").

The release of "Sonnet" was limited to just 5,000 copies, despite the huge radio coverage it received, and the UK's Official Charts Company refused to recognise it as a single because of the extra content, as planned.
