"There's No Other Way" is a song by Blur and was released 15 April 1991 as their second single. The song was the band's first top ten and top 40 hit and was also featured on the band's debut album Leisure. The single was also a minor hit in the US, reaching number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number five on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1] A playable version of the song is available for the Rock Band video game series, and it is available to download for Guitar Hero 5.[2]

The song utilises a beat and tambourine sound typical of songs of the Madchester and baggy scene.

The video for the song was directed by David Balfe, the former keyboardist for The Teardrop Explodes and owner of Blur's label Food Records.
