"There's a Honey" is the debut single by English indie pop band Pale Waves. The track was released through Dirty Hit on 20 February 2017 as the lead single for their debut studio album, My Mind Makes Noises (2018). Written by Pale Waves members Heather Baron-Gracie and Ciara Doran, the track's production was handled by the 1975 band members, Matty Healy and George Daniel. Lyrically, the song discusses insecurities and doubt in a romantic relationship. A music video for "There's a Honey", directed by Silent Tapes, was released on 11 April 2017. The video is performance based and took visual inspiration from the American sculptor Daniel Wurtzel.
After its initial release, "There's a Honey" was re-issued on 10 November 2017 as a limited-edition double 7", coupled with "Television Romance". Upon its re-release, it debuted at 83 on the Scottish Singles Chart on 17 November and at 2 on the UK Vinyl Singles and UK Singles Sales Charts. In 2018, the song was remixed and included on the band's first album, My Mind Makes Noises. Critical reception to "There's a Honey" was largely positive, with several publications praising the debut single's hook, its sonic nature, and its overall catchiness; additionally, at the end of 2017, the music outlets NME and The Line of Best Fit both ranked "There's a Honey" as one of the best songs of the year.
