"Where I Stood" is the second single from Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins' second album, On a Clear Night (2007). The single was released on 4 August 2007 and reached {{abbr|No.|Number}} 10 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. In the United States, it became Higgins' second song to appear on the Billboard charts, reaching number 10 on the Adult Contemporary ranking. In a similar promotional scenario as her previous single "Steer", Higgins gave her fans the opportunity to purchase a signed single along with signed lyrics.

Music video

There are two videos for the song: one for Australia and one for the United States. The Australian video premiered at midnight (12am AEST) on 26 June 2007, via Higgins' MySpace page. The video was directed by Australian filmmakers Paul Goldman and Alice Bell, who were also responsible for Silverchair's "Straight Lines" video. The US video uses a more uptempo mix of the song which is also the version played on American radio stations, rather than the version that appears on the album. This version was directed by Steven Murashige.{{Cite news|url=http://www.videostatic.com/content/booked-missy-higgins-steven-murashige-director|title=BOOKED: Missy Higgins – Steven Murashige, director|work=VideoStatic|access-date=27 October 2017}} Both videos can be seen on Higgins' website.
