"This article is about Eurythmics' single; for the 1983 single by The Cure, see The Walk (The Cure song)."

"The Walk" was Eurythmics' fourth single, produced by band member David A. Stewart and Adam Williams (ex-bassist of The Selector), self-funded at Eurythmics own 8-track home studio. As with their previous three singles, it was a commercial failure.

The group filmed their second music video to accompany the single. As yet, this video has not been released commercically.

All the non-album tracks from this single were omitted from SonyBMG's remastering of 2005, and remain unavailable on CD. "Invisible Hands" had been the working title for what became the group's "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" album, but in the end was dropped from the album altogether.
