'''"Pounding"''' is the second single from English band Doves' second studio album, ''The Last Broadcast'' (2002). The single was first released in Japan on 17 July 2002 as an extended play, coinciding with Doves' 2002 Japan tour dates. Five days later, the single was issued in the United Kingdom on 10-inch vinyl and CD, reaching number 21 on the UK Singles Chart on 28 July. The music video was directed by Julian House and Julian Gibbs at Intro, the same team that directed the band's previous video "There Goes the Fear."

B-side "Willow's Song" is found on the Japanese EP as the full-length version. It includes a 'false start' and runs 4:20. The version of the song found on the next single "Caught by the River" is an edit that cuts out the intro and runs 3:58.
