"Writing to Reach You" is the first single taken from Scottish rock band Travis's second studio album, The Man Who (1999).

The single was the group's first release in Japan and Australia, following their success in the United Kingdom.

Fran was reading Letters to Felice from Franz Kafka while he wrote this song.

The video ends with Healy giving a letter of some sort to the school girl who shot him with arrows earlier and she runs toward the camera as it travels further away from the set.

The song's intro is used as bumper music on the Ring of Fire radio program.
