"'Balloons'" is the first single from the album 'Antidotes' by Foals. It is their fourth single in total to date. It was released as a digital download on 9 December 2007 and on CD and vinyl the following day.

The video was directed by Dave Ma and features crows, dancers in flapper dresses, a wall of flowers and Foals' artwork maestro Tinhead painting on a wall. Singer Yannis has described the crows as representing coal or fuel.
