"Turn the Tide" is a song by British pop band Johnny Hates Jazz, released by Virgin as a non-album single in 1989.

[2] "Turn the Tide" was Johnny Hates Jazz's first release to feature Phil Thornalley as lead vocalist, following the departure of Clark Datchler at the end of 1988 to pursue a solo career.

[5] Upon its release, David Giles of Music Week described "Turn the Tide" as "a song in the mould of the first LP, with soft harmonies and a bright, cheerful arrangements".

[6] Andrew Hirst of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner praised it as "another carefully-crafted pop song" and added that "the harsh guitar solo is a fine contrast to the silkily smooth build-up".

He stated, "The main problem with Johnny Hates Jazz is the undeniable fact that, no matter how hard they try, their singles tend to be somewhat on the bland side.
