"Coming Around" is a song by Scottish indie rock band Travis, released on 5 June 2000 as a stand-alone single, although it was subsequently added to a limited-edition Special Live Edition of The Man Who. The single peaked at number five on the UK singles chart and became the band's first number-one single on the Scottish Singles Chart. One of the single's B-sides is a cover of "The Weight", a song by the Band.

In 2012, American rock band Counting Crows recorded this song for their album Underwater Sunshine (or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation).^[1]
