"Swing" is the lead single from Savage's debut solo album, Moonshine. It was released in January 2005 and went on to reach number one in the New Zealand singles chart. In 2008, it was released as a single in the United States with a re-done version featuring Soulja Boy, as well as an additional version featuring Pitbull. Both remixes are featured on the rapper's second studio album Savage Island, and the Soulja Boy version additionally appeared on Now That's What I Call Music! 29. There are also covers of this song by metalcore bands Drop Dead, Gorgeous and Miss May I.

"Swing" was remixed by Australian producer Joel Fletcher in 2013. The remix, credited as "Joel Fletcher & Savage", has reached number two in Australia - charting much higher than the original version. A music video was filmed on 17 December 2013 and released on 14 January 2014. The track features on the Australian release of Ministry of Sound - The Annual 2014. This version of the song was certified triple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association.

In the music video for the Joel Fletcher remix, Savage arrives at a house party and sings.

"Swing" entered the New Zealand Singles Chart on 17 January 2005 at number two. The following week it climbed to number one, where it remained for five weeks. The original release of the song spent 19 weeks on the chart. With the Soulja Boy version, "Swing" re-entered in August 2008 and spent a further five weeks on the chart with a peak at number 23. "Swing" hit the ARIA Singles Chart on 22 August 2005, debuting at number 44 and peaking at number 36 the following week. It spent 13 weeks on the chart.
