"Ouch" was the first single from the Tragically Hip's Saskadelphia, an EP released on May 21, 2021, and it came with a strange backstory. The song traces back to the sessions for their 1991 album Road Apples, and it only resurfaced after a 2019 New York Times Magazine piece listed the Hip among the artists whose master tapes had burned in the 2008 Universal Studios fire; the tapes turned out to be safe, shipped home to Canada years before.
Gord Downie, who died in 2017, sings lead, with Paul Langlois and Gord Sinclair adding vocals. Langlois and Rob Baker play guitar, Sinclair bass and Johnny Fay drums, and the whole band shares the writing credit. Bruce Barris engineered and Mark Vreeken mixed. It went to #3 on the Canadian rock chart, and its video starred Rick Mercer and Jay Baruchel.
