"Winning Days" was the third and final single from the album of the same name by the Vines. It came out in May 2004, the same week as the Annandale Hotel incident took place in Sydney, in which Craig Nicholls, the song's writer and the group's lead singer-guitarist, assaulted a photographer, and charges were pressed.
Triple M also permanently banned the Vines from airplay on their network the same week, which resulted in the single having no radio backing at all in the wake of the national negative publicity created by Triple M during the days that followed. It appeared on the ARIA Singles Chart top 100 and the top 50 on the UK Singles Chart.
