"'''Waiting for the Sirens' Call'''" is a single released in 2005 by the group [[New Order]]. The third single from the ''[[Waiting for the Sirens' Call]]'' album, it was released by [[London Records]] on 26 September 2005.
"'''Waiting for the Sirens' Call'''" is the thirty-first single by English band [[New Order (band)|New Order]], released in 2005. It was released by [[London Records]] on 26 September 2005, and was the third single from the [[Waiting for the Sirens' Call|album of the same title]].

London eschewed the usual CD single, [[Maxi single|maxi CD]] and [[DVD]] configuration for the single, instead releasing "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" as three separate 7" singles. Each 7" contained a different mix of the single as an A-side. On the B-side, each 7" contained a brand new [[remix]] of a classic New Order single.

Many saw this as a bridging of the ''Waiting for the Sirens' Call'' album and the then-forthcoming ''[[Singles (New Order album)|Singles]]'' compilation.

A CD single for "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" followed the three 7" singles, and was released on October 3, 2005. The two track CD featured full-length mixes of the title track.

In a recent report, New Order frontman [[Bernard Sumner]] has stated that "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" is his favourite New Order song of all time.{{Fact|date=May 2007}}

The song was added to [[BBC Radio 2]]'s A-List and was also playlisted by [[Xfm London]]. It debuted at #21 on the [[UK Singles Chart]], one position lower than the previous single, "[[Jetstream (song)|Jetstream]]".
