"There Goes the Fear" is the first single from Doves' second studio album "The Last Broadcast". The single was released on April 15, 2002 in the UK on CD and 10" vinyl, and charted at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. Both formats were released and deleted on the same day. A single was also released for the song in Holland and in Australia. The main riff has similarities to that of "No Surprises" by Radiohead, as it is played by guitar and glockenspiel, and the chord progression is similar albeit in a different key. However, the rest of the song differs greatly from "No Surprises." The single features a sample from "Os Grilos" by Marcos Valle.

The B-side, "Hit the Ground Running," is an adaptation of "Werewolves of London" written by Warren Zevon, LeRoy Marinell, and Robert "Waddy" Wachtel. The music video was directed by Julian House and Julian Gibbs at Intro.
