"Jigsaw Falling into Place" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as the lead single from their seventh studio album In Rainbows (2007) on 14 January 2008.
The song had the working title "Open Pick" when it was performed during Radiohead's 2006 tour.
The track reached #30 in the UK singles chart on its first week of release, their lowest ranking chart entry since "Lucky" in 1995. However, "Jigsaw" was the first Radiohead single since the band's inception not to be released through EMI-controlled Parlophone, their former major record label. The single was instead released in the UK by independent label XL Records.
The song spent several weeks as one of the 100-most-played songs on US modern rock radio, peaking at #69, receiving more support than any other In Rainbows song with the exception of "Bodysnatchers", which hit #8 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart, and House of Cards which peaked at #48.
Time magazine named "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" the fifth best song of 2007. Writer Josh Tyrangiel praised the song’s "tightness", whose rise in intensity he likened to a three-act play, and described the song as "a journey through flirtation, consummation and regret [that] gets about as close as you can to summing up a doomed relationship in four minutes." Mike Diver of Drowned in Sound described the track as a "bass-propelled pop-rock head-bobber, easy enough on the ear for indirect consumption."Clash wrote: "It’s good but like the much-hyped In Rainbows album, musically it’s (relatively) unadventurous."
