"'Birmingham'" is a song by Canadian pop-rock singer Amanda Marshall. It was released in 1996 as the second single from her self-titled debut album. The song is her most successful single in Canada, reaching number three on the 'RPM' Top Singles chart, and became her only song to chart on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, peaking at number 43.

Music video



The song's music video, directed by Jeth Weinrich, mirrors the song's lyrics by featuring a woman fleeing from an abusive relationship. Interspersed throughout the video are clips of Amanda Marshall performing the song. Marshall chose for the video to focus on the woman instead of the man, wanting to create a candid storyline for the female protagonist. Wayne Isaak of VH1 gave the video a positive review, calling the subject matter "empowering".
