Stupid Thing is a 1993 song by American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann from her debut album, Whatever. It was written by Mann and Jon Brion and produced by Brion. The single, backed with the B-side “I’ve Had It,” reached No. 47 on the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the Top 100 for two weeks. Mann has said the song comes from a frustrating relationship and the feeling of stopping something before it starts. Critics have called it a sad, beautiful ballad with a strong chorus that captures the unfairness of a disappointing love.
