Painting It Red is the seventh original album released by The Beautiful South in October 2000. The album is the band's joint longest, with 19 tracks. A two-disc UK bonus version contains 20 tracks. The American release on Ark21 has only 17 tracks.
The album made it to number 2 in the charts, but despite the number of tracks, only two singles were produced: "Closer Than Most", which reached number 22 in September and the double A-side "The River"/"Just Checkin'", which reached number 59 in December.
All songs written by Paul Heaton and David Rotheray.
As was their usual modus operandi, The Beautiful South included unreleased material on the B-sides of the singles taken from their albums.
