"Shesmovedon" (pronounced as "She's Moved On") is a single by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, released in July 2000, from the Lightbulb Sun album. It came in three forms: a regular CD, a limited-version CD (2,000 copies) and a 7" vinyl (1,000 copies). The single reached #4 in the NME independent chart in its first week of release.
All tracks written by Steven Wilson, except "Untitled" and "Russia on Ice" written by Barbieri, Edwin, Maitland and Wilson.
Although the first track on the limited edition CD is labeled "album version", it differs slightly from that version, as on the album the track segues into the next song "Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled" while on the single it has a clean ending.
The song was re-recorded in the studio by the then-current lineup during the Deadwing album sessions. Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth performed harmony vocals on that version. It was released as a bonus track on the American version of Deadwing.
