We Can Breathe in Space, They Just Don't Want Us to Escape

"We Can Breathe in Space, They Just Don't Want Us to Escape" is a song by British rock band Enter Shikari. The release of the single is the only release of Enter Shikari in 2008. The single was not released on the band's album, Common Dreads, in 2009, as it was decided by the band that it would be a "go-between" Take to the Skies and Common Dreads.

The song was originally demoed by the band in 2006. The reason of the re-recording was because of many requests from fans to have this song re-recorded. It is also noted that it became popular amongst fans due to P2P and File sharing sites.

The single was released digitally on 2 November 2008, with the physical formats to be released on 3 November 2008. All physical formats are limited to 1000 copies.
