"Weir" was the first single from Reflector, the 2000 debut album by Australian rock band Killing Heidi, and it's still the song everyone knows them by. Ella Hooper and Jesse Hooper wrote it, and it's bright, restless pop rock with a chorus-sized sense of urgency.
At home it became a teen anthem, climbing to number six on the ARIA Singles Chart, and the video was shot partly in Sydney's Centennial Park. American alternative radio got it in July 2000. Its hold on Australian listeners never really slipped: in 2025 it came in at 77 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs.
