"Shoot from the Hip" is the second album by British pop–dance singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. It was released by Polydor Records on October 27, 2003, in the United Kingdom.

The album was produced by Gregg Alexander, Matt Rowe, Jeremy Wheatley, and Damian leGassick. "Shoot from the Hip" became the singer's least commercially successful album release in the United Kingdom, where it reached number-nineteen on the album chart, producing two singles, "Mixed Up World" and "I Won't Change You", which reached number-seven and number-nine in the UK charts, respectively.

The release of a third single, either "Love It Is Love" or "Party In My Head", ("Love It Is Love" being the favoured track), was briefly discussed as a possibility by Sophie herself on her official message board shortly after "I Won't Change You"'s release.

Internationally, the album was released in the autumn of 2003, but little interest was generated outside the United Kingdom, where it was certified Gold for shipments over the 100,000 copies although the album did get to #35 on the Swiss charts.

Apart from "Murder on the Dancefloor", Ellis-Bextor's solo material had not been released in North America until June 2007, when Shoot from the Hip was added to the US iTunes Store.

The songs "I Won't Dance With You" and "The Walls Keep Saying Your Name" feature Ellis-Bextor's ex-boyfriend and ex-manager, Andy Boyd, although his name does not appear on the album's tracklist. N.B. The track "I Won't Dance With You" has been incorrectly listed on the album as "I Won't Dance Without You"

The international editions of the album don't include "Making Music", "I Won't Dance With You" and the hidden track "Physical", a cover of Olivia Newton-John's 1981 number one single. Sophie has commented on this matter, saying to her fans "I hate the fact that the UK version has more tracks. I am contractually obliged to remove tracks for outside the UK. It is absurd to create an album then take away part of it. It's something to do with royalties. I didn't know they'd removed the hidden track too though, cheeky morons. I am really sorry you are the ones who suffer."fact|date=May 2008
