"Freakin' Out" was the lead single from Happiness in Magazines, Graham Coxon's fifth solo album, in 2004, and he wrote every note and every word of it himself. It came out first as a limited seven-inch, pressed in a run of 5,000, and still climbed to number 37 on the UK Singles Chart, which is a decent showing for something you had to hunt down.

It didn't stay rare for long: the song was later reissued as a double A-side with "All Over Me". Restless and a little unhinged, just as the title promises, it's Coxon sounding like he's finally having fun on his own terms.
