"Trash" is the first single from the album Coming Up by Suede, released on July 29, 1996, on Nude Records. It is the first single in which all the songs on it were written without guitarist Bernard Butler, since Richard Oakes had taken his place. The single, with its infectious chorus and instant accessibility, is tied with "Stay Together" as the band's highest charting at number three; however, it outsold the earlier single, thus making it their biggest selling single. The song signified a dramatic change in the band's sound, as they went from gloomy and theatrical to glam-induced pop.
The video for the title song was directed by David Mould and again features the whole band playing in a crowded room. Yet this time, the people in the room as well as the setting are far more glamorous, as opposed to that of the video for "New Generation." The video also marks the first appearance of new band member, keyboardist Neil Codling.
Various meanings have been determined from the song, but the main themes seem to be about 'outsiders'. Brett recalls, "I think we've always been the outsider band. It's partly because we are a strange band: all different ages, and heights, and sizes, we didn't all grow up together at school. It's more like a collection of...freaks, forced together under the name Suede. And it's partly down to me feeling like an outsider, which i have done all my life. And i think people who feel like outsiders empathise with the song."
The single version of "Trash" which charted at number three is different from the version on the Suede Singles compilation, where the vocals were re-recorded along with an alternative ending. All four of the singles B-sides were included on Suede's compilation Sci-Fi Lullabies, which was released the following year, although the version of "Europe is our Playground" was a new version and not the original B-side version found here.
