"Shape" is a pop song performed by British pop group Sugababes. It was written and produced by Craig "Craigie" Dodds for the band's second studio album "Angels with Dirty Faces" (2002), incoporating a sample of the 1993 recording "Shape of My Heart," co-written and performed by Sting (who can be heard providing backing vocals) and his guitarist Dominic Miller

Produced by Craigie, the song was released as the album's fourth and final single in the second quarter of 2003, and peaked at number 9 on the Irish Singles Chart. As well as reaching number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, the song also went top 10 in the Netherlands and top 20 in Norway.

Music video

The music video for "Shape" was directed by Michael Gracey and Pete Commins, and filmed at the Fox Studios, in Sydney, Australia.

It sees the girls clad in digitized butterflies as strapless tops and skirts, at a masked party. They each catch the eye of a boy and get chased. Near the end their butterfly outfits have almost flown away, and they each jump off a balcony and float and sing in the water, as their 3 men watch from the balcony and walk away in the last scene.

According to the British newspaper "The Sun" the video for "Shape" had to be censored because in the video the Sugababes wear flesh-coloured bodysuits which gives the effect they are naked. Extra computerized white butterflies, were used to cover the Sugababes.
