"'Shotgun'" is a song by British singer-songwriter George Ezra. The song was written by Ezra, Fred Gibson Bottle Studio and Joel Pott and produced by Cam Blackwood. It was released as a digital download on 18 May 2018, as the third single from Ezra's second studio album 'Staying at Tamara's'.

The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Ezra's first number-one song in the United Kingdom, and was certified quintuple platinum in the country. In addition, it topped the ARIA Singles Chart in Australia, also becoming Ezra's first number-one there, as well as the Irish Singles Chart and New Zealand Singles Chart.

In 2019 it was revealed that Irish country music singer Derek Ryan will be awarded royalties (of seven and a half per cent) for the song due to its similarity to the chorus of Ryan's song 'Flowers In Your Hair' released in 2014.

In a review for 'NME', Rhian Daly described the song as "anthemic" with a "balmy sound".
