Stereophonics picked "Just Looking" as the second single from Performance and Cocktails, the Welsh band's second album, and it hit the shops in February 1999 on V2 Records. Kelly Jones wrote the words, and the music is credited to him, Richard Jones and Stuart Cable. Marshall Bird and Steve Bush produced it, and Al Clay mixed.
It climbed to number 4 in the UK and 18 in Ireland, and it never stopped selling: in 2022 the BPI certified it gold for more than 400,000 units in sales and streams. The video piles the band into a car with Cable at the wheel, handing round Jelly Babies until the whole thing sinks under water, and a live acoustic take later turned up on CD two of the "Step On My Old Size Nines" single.
