"Wash It Away" is Paul Durham's song, words and music, and it was one of two American radio hits, along with "Time Ago", on Your Body Above Me, the debut album from alternative rockers Black Lab. Geffen put it out on October 21, 1997, with the rest of the world getting it in January 1998, and the band is credited with the arrangement.

The album came with a collector's twist, too: a three-sided vinyl LP appeared at the same time, with the cover art pressed into the fourth side. Black Lab and Geffen parted ways in 1999, and in October 2006 Durham, the band's lead singer, announced a reissue, Your Body Above Me: The Director's Cut, with a new track order, two bonus tracks and two extra minutes of music that had been trimmed from the original recordings.
