"Locked Out" is a song by Australian and New Zealand rock group Crowded House from their fourth studio album, Together Alone (1993). It was written by Neil Finn, produced by Youth, and released as a single in January 1994 by Capitol Records. The song and was also included on the soundtrack to the American film Reality Bites. In the United Kingdom, it was the most successful single from Together Alone, reaching No. 12. The single fared less well in Australia, where it peaked at No. 79 in June 1994. Its accompanying music video was directed by London-based director Zanna and shot on location in Wales and England.[1] The cover artwork of the single features the four members of Crowded House in a mirror image, including Mark Hart.
Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song a score of three out of five, writing, "The third single from their Together Alone album will disappoint those who prefer Crowded House in their more usual thoughtful mode, as they rock out with much style and little consequence. Sure to go Top 40, however, especially as the CDs yield six otherwise unavailable live recordings."[2]
