On is the second studio album by English alternative rock band Echobelly. Gaining a favourable response from critics, the album reached number 4 in the UK Albums Chart becoming their most commercially successful album. The album spawned three top 40 singles two of which managed to reach the top 20. On 21 July 2014, a 2CD expanded edition of the album was released with B-sides and previously unreleased live performances.

## Album title

The album title was inspired by a poster found by Echobelly members Glenn Johansson and Sonya Madan. The poster had the word "no" across it in blood red. By turning the word around, it became a positive, and the band thus decided to title the album On.
