(Don't) Give Hate a Chance is the third single from Dynamite, the sixth album by UK band Jamiroquai, led by Jason Kay. The song was written by Kay, Rob Harris (the band's guitarist), and Matt Johnston (keyboardist). It was produced by Kay and Mike Spencer. The single was released in the UK on November 7th, 2005 and entered the UK charts at number 27.
The video for (Don't) Give Hate a Chance is Jamiroquai's first-ever computer animated music video and pays hommage to the Italian cartoon "La Linea". To promote the release of the video, Sony BMG organised the video to be projected on a number of outdoor venues around central London, including the walls of the Chelsea Barracks military grounds and a car park in the Soho district. A replacement to the original video appeared in late October which included changes such as the ground being replaced by plants and rocks and significant changes to the final minute of the video.
The title of the song is a reference to the song Give Peace A Chance by John Lennon.
It charted at number 27 in the UK Singles chart.
