"Watching You" (2006) is the third song released by Australian band Rogue Traders from their second album Here Come the Drums. The song was released as their second single in the United Kingdom in late 2006.
This electropop dance track is based on the distinctive guitar riff from the 1979 hit song "My Sharona" by The Knack.
The song was their fourth top ten hit in Australia and their second top forty hit in the UK. It debuted into the Australian Singles Chart on 6 February 2006 at number seven. On its second week in the chart it moved up to its peak position at number five and stayed there for two weeks. It then stayed in the top ten for another three weeks and re-entered two weeks later at number eight moving up three places from eleven. It fell slowly down the charts not making a rise and after twelve weeks it fell out of the top fifty after spending twenty weeks in the charts and accrediting Gold by ARIA.
The song was released in the UK on 16 October 2006 and entered the charts on 28 October 2006 at number thirty-three. The song only spent two weeks in the chart after falling out of the charts at number fifty-eight.
