"Hide U" is a song by British electronic music group Kosheen, written by group members Sian Evans, Mark Morrison, and Darren Beale. The song was originally released in 2000 and reached number 73 in the band's home country as a double A-side with "Empty Skies". The track was then remixed and re-released in 2001 as the lead single from Kosheen's debut album, Resist (2001), this time reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart. Outside the UK, the single peaked at number one in Greece and Romania, became a top-five hit in Belgium and the Netherlands, and entered the top 40 in Australia, Italy, and Sweden.

Release and reception

Via Jive Records, "Hide U" was first released in Benelux on 5 May 2000, becoming a top-five hit in both Belgium and the Netherlands later in the year. In Belgium, the song charted in the Flanders region, peaking at number three for two weeks in October and ending the year as the region's 33rd-best-selling hit of 2000. In the Netherlands, the track reached number four on the Dutch Top 40 and number five on the Single Top 100. On 5 June 2000, Moksha Recordings released "Hide U" as a double A-side with "Empty Skies" in the United Kingdom. The single initially peaked at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart. Follow-up singles "Catch" / "Demonstrate" and "(Slip & Slide) Suicide" failed to surpass the UK peak of "Hide U" / "Empty Skies".{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7972/kosheen/|title=Kosheen|publisher=Official Charts Company|access-date=23 November 2021}}
