"Oh My God" is a song by English indie rock band Kaiser Chiefs. It was initially released by the Drowned in Sound label on 17 May 2004 as their first major label and fourth overall single, reaching number 66 on the UK Singles Chart, their first under the Kaiser Chiefs moniker after releasing a studio album on the now-defunct Mantra Recordings label and three singles in promotion as Parva between 2001 and 2002 and the album in 2003, all of which failed to chart, where the band was dropped after Beggars Banquet Records subsequently closed the label.
"Oh My God" was re-released on 21 February 2005, two weeks before the release of their second overall album, Employment. This time, it became their breakout single, peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart, which earned the band their first top-10 hit as well as their highest-charting single at the time until it was succeeded by UK chart-topper "Ruby" in 2007.
The original single release, now a rarity due to its limited run of 500 copies, features artwork by frontman Ricky Wilson, and its B-sides were earlier versions of "Born to Be a Dancer" and "Caroline, Yes", both of which would also appear on Employment.
