"Grace" is a song by Britpop band Supergrass. It was the second single to be taken from Life on Other Planets (2002), the band's fourth studio album. It was released on 16 September 2002 and reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. Unlike the previous single, "Never Done Nothing Like That Before", a vinyl-only release, it was released on all major formats. Background Gaz Coombes explained the meaning of the song: "This one came from the daughter of Chris Difford. Part of the record was done in the small studio right behind his home. While recording, we often got visited by his daughters. No, not that kind! They're really sweet children. Kids in the studio just add to the right atmosphere. You can do great jams with them. That's how 'Grace' developed. One of these girls always carried a small money box around. Save The Money For The Children, it says. One day, Danny came in drunk, and started rambling on a piano, shouting all kinds of weird lyrics. So, we used the line from the money box, and thought: that will do for the B Side. But once we started recording it for real, it became better and better, and it's even our new single now!. Yeah, things can go truly odd."
