"Walk Me to the Bridge" is the first single released by the Manic Street Preachers from the album Futurology. The single was planned for release on 28 April 2014, but it was leaked earlier in the month.

In an interview about the songs lyrics, bass player Nicky Wire approached the topic of whether the song was about former band member, Richey Edwards or not, Wire stated that:

The band, especially Wire, have stated that he wrote the song at a critical time, when he was, as described above, tired of being in the band, and he wrote the lyrics thinking of that subject. He later felt differently after a gig in Denmark.

The song was released as a digital download and it was backed by two new songs The Sound of Detachment and Caldey, it also featured a live version of the song and a rework of the song from "Futurology", Europa Geht Durch Mich. It peaked in number 82 on the UK Singles Chart.

In an interview Nicky Wire said that he wanted Kieran Evans for the video. The band tried to continue the narrative element that the two previous singles from Rewind the Film had. It was inspired by Run Lola Run and the video was released to the public on Sunday, the 27 April.
