'"Stop the World"' is the third single by The Big Pink. "Stop the World" was released as a digital download and on 7" vinyl on 29 June 2009, and is not included on their debut album 'A Brief History of Love'. The song was co-produced by the band and British record producer Paul Epworth, and mixed by Rich Costey (who also produced their debut album).[http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_8022000/8022375.stm BBC - Newsbeat - Music - The Big Pink slam indie cool tag] The single also includes an exclusive B-side, titled "Crushed Water."
"Stop the World" was included on the Japanese pressing of 'A Brief History of Love' as a bonus track, as well as being one of two exclusive bonus tracks on the UK iTunes version of the album. The band "disowned" the track shortly after its release: "Ironically, it was because the track was deemed 'too poppy' by Cordell and Furze that it was dropped from the full-length."[http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=223821 THE BIG PINK, A Brief History of Love (Special Edition with Bonus 12 inch)]
