"Kathleen" was the third single from Welsh indie rockers Catfish and the Bottlemen, included on their 2014 EP Kathleen and the Other Three and on their debut album, The Balcony. It arrived first as a music video in March, with a seven-inch following in April, no B-side attached. Van McCann wrote the words and plays piano on it, sharing the music credit with Billy Bibby, Benji Blakeway and Bob Hall; Jim Abbiss produced, and Ian Dowling engineered and mixed.
It became the most successful single The Balcony produced and the band's first to chart in America and Japan, reaching 17 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart on moderate airplay, and it has since gone platinum in the UK.
