"People Watching" is a song by English singer-songwriter Sam Fender. It was released on 15 November 2024 as the lead single from his third studio album of the same name. It was written as a tribute to his "late friend and mentor" Annie Orwin, who he described as being "like a surrogate mother" to him. He drew inspiration from his walks to and from her care home. Fender co-produced the song in Los Angeles with Adam Granduciel of the American rock band the War on Drugs.^{[1] [2] [3]}
