"Big City" is the fifth and last single from the English alternative rock band Spacemen 3. It entered the UK charts at position #88.[1] It was released in January 1991, shortly after the band split up, as a 7", 12" and CD single. The 7" contains a shorter version of the song than the 12".[2] A remixed version was released separately. The 7" edit appears on the band's final album Recurring under the title "Big City (Everyone I Know Can Be Found Here)".

The track featured in the Simpsons episode Every Man's Dream, as the soundtrack to a psychedelic drug trip montage. It was used with songwriter Peter Kember's approval.[3] [4]
