"Suburbia" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their debut album, Please (1986). It was re-recorded with producer Julian Mendelsohn for release as the fourth single from the album. Peaking at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, "Suburbia" was the band's second top 10 hit after "West End Girls",[3] and in their view it saved them from becoming a one-hit wonder.[4]

I thought Pet Shop Boys were very likely going to be one-hit wonders… We were on a classic trajectory. Our first single: No. 1 everywhere around the world. Next single: No. 19 in the UK. Now, the logical trajectory is that the next record goes to No. 29, the one after doesn't make the Top 50, and then you're dropped… When we finished ["Suburbia"] with Julian Mendelsohn, I thought: 'Now, that is a hit record', and it was huge, particularly in Germany and France. "Suburbia" led to "It's a Sin" and everything that followed.
