"Same Mistake" is the second single from James Blunt's album "All the Lost Souls". It was released in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2007. Radio play began on November 1, 2007 on selected stations in the United Kingdom and Europe, and shortly thereafter in North America.

The song was edited for radio release; the album version of the song runs 4:59, while the radio edit runs 3:55. Half of the first verse and the entire second verse were edited out, significantly changing the context of the song.

Music video

The video for "Same Mistake" was filmed in Toronto, Canada on October 5, 2007. It was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who is well known for his work with artists such as Madonna and Christina Aguilera. The video uses an unusual filming technique, where the camera is attached to a frame worn on Blunt's upper torso and is focused on his face throughout the entire video. It was released on November 1, 2007 on the website of "The Sun", a British tabloid-style newspaper, and on MSN.

The camera "follows" Blunt through a day in his life, from awakening with a beautiful young woman beside him, through his morning ablutions and breakfast, strolling his neighbourhood, meeting up with friends, and eventually arriving at a club. At the club, Blunt becomes the focus of attention of numerous women, although his reaction appears to be zombie-like. Eventually he leaves the club, and returns home with one of the women. They make love, although Blunt appears detached and bored. The video ends with Blunt singing "where did I go wrong?" and falling asleep.
