"Sing Our Own Song" is a song written and performed by British reggae group UB40. It features backing singers Jaki Graham, Mo Birch and Ruby Turner and appeared as the ninth and final track on their seventh album, Rat in the Kitchen (1986). Released in 1986, it reached number five on the UK Singles Chart and became a number-one hit in the Netherlands.

The song was written as an anti-apartheid song and was censored in South Africa.[2] Featuring the ANC rallying cry of "Amandla Awethu", it is considered a protest song of the time.[3]
