"Snowden" is the second single from Doves' third album Some Cities. It was released in the UK on 9 May 2005 on limited edition CD, 2-track CD and 7" vinyl, and charted at #17 on the UK Singles Chart. The single version of the song was mixed by Rich Costey. Two music videos were produced for the song, directed by Dominic Leung. One features the album version of the song, and the other (also known as the "live edit") features the Rich Costey mix, with both videos featuring different footage.

The B-side "Son of a Builder" contains elements of "Beasley Street," written by Mancunian performance poet John Cooper Clarke.

All tracks written by Jez Williams, Jimi Goodwin, and Andy Williams, except where noted.
