"Watching You" (2006) is the third song released by Australian band Rogue Traders from their second album "Here Come the Drums". The song was released as their second single in the United Kingdom in late 2006.

This high-energy electropop dance track is based around the distinctive guitar riff from the 1979 hit song "My Sharona" by The Knack.

The song was their fourth top ten hit in Australia and their second top forty hit in the UK. It debuted into the Australian Singles Chart on February 6, 2006 at number seven.

It then stayed in the top ten for another three weeks and re-entered two weeks later at number eight moving up three places from eleven. It fell slowly down the charts not making a rise and after twelve weeks it fell out of the top fifty after spending twenty weeks in the charts and accrediting Gold by ARIA.
