"Sing" was the first single from Yes, Virginia..., the Dresden Dolls' second studio album, and it came out in March 2006, a few weeks ahead of the record's April release on Roadrunner. Amanda Palmer wrote the words and the music, and it made a fair calling card for a dark cabaret band.
The band had cut the album in September 2005, coming back that November for extra vocals and the mix. Sales dropped off fast after release, Roadrunner soon stopped backing the record, and the fallout left the band and the label at odds, which makes this lead single the opening move of a short and bumpy campaign.
