"Sarah" is the second single by Eskimo Joe, taken from their third studio album Black Fingernails, Red Wine. Kavyen Temperley has indicated that the song was written about a girl who had a mental dysfunction, whose life went downhill, but like "Black Fingernails, Red Wine", the true meaning behind the lyrics remain with Temperley and the band. It was not, as previously reported, written about Temperley's wife, as he was not married at the time he wrote the song.
The B-Side includes a cover of the Pixies' tune "Hey", and two versions of the last single, "Black Fingernails, Red Wine", in both an acoustic version (recorded at Triple J the same time as "Hey"), and a live version from the Nine Network's Today.

The music video is similar to the "Black Fingernails Red Wine" revised video. It features the band playing in a concert hall and a fourth person can be seen playing with the band.
