"Weird" is a song written and performed by American pop rock band Hanson. The rock ballad [1] was the fourth single released from the band's major label debut album, Middle of Nowhere (1997), and became a moderate hit worldwide, charting within the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week wrote, "This slow-tempo ballad might have been a better choice for their Christmas song than " I Will Come to You", which made number five but did not last through the season. It's a dreamy affair, scooping in references to John Lennon, George Michael and Chris de Burgh. Luscious." [2]

Chart performance

"Weird" performed well in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart and becoming their fourth top-20 hit there. [3] It also did well on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, charting at number 12, [4] the Canadian RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart, reaching number 11, [5] and the New Zealand RIANZ Singles Chart, peaking at number 10. [6] It charted the highest in Finland, where it rose to number four during its third week on the Finnish Singles Chart. [7]

Music video

The music video for "Weird" was directed by Gus Van Sant. [8] It features the band performing the song in a crowded subway and walking in Time Square, New York City.
