"9 to 5" is the third single from UK hip hop artist Lady Sovereign's debut album Public Warning, following the release of her first UK top 75 single "Random". It was her debut single for Island Records and was released on 8 August 2005. It contains a sample from the British movie Time Bandits.

Lady Sovereign's #33 hit paid off with the unofficial charts. In its first week of sale, it topped 70 unofficial charts including the Playwax Chart, the Crazy Chart, the Channel U Airplay Chart, the White Rappers Chart and the Female Grime Chart and surprisingly it was #10 on the Soul Chart making her the only rap artist (apart from Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind") to chart the Soul Chart.

The single became Lady Sovereign's first top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at #33 in the singles chart. It's also featured in the EA Sports 2006 video game FIFA World Cup 2006. The single was backed by a remix by indie band The Ordinary Boys. "9 to 5" also had three videos, one for the original and another two for "The Ordinary Boys Remix".

The Re-Match

"Nine2Five" was the re-named and re-recorded "The Ordinary Boys" remix of Lady Sovereign's single "9 to 5". The remix was released as a duet single and was credited as The Ordinary Boys vs. Lady Sovereign and was the seventh for The Ordinary Boys and the fourth for Lady Sovereign. A new music video was shot for the single but Lady Sovereign had to film her parts for the re-make in the US.

The single's re-release was a much bigger hit than the original, peaking 27 places higher than the original at #6 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Lady Sovereign's first UK top 10 hit and The Ordinary Boys' second.

The song was featured on the St. Trinian's Soundtrack in 2007.
