The Singles is the second greatest hits album of Savage Garden, released in Australia on 12 June 2015. Its release was in mark of the 20th anniversary of the band's signing to Roadshow Music in 1995, released through Universal who had acquired the band's catalogue due to the folding of Roadshow in 2013, and coincided with re-released expanded editions of their two studio albums Savage Garden and Affirmation. The compilation also contains a DVD featuring almost all of the band's music videos (only missing the second version of "To the Moon and Back" and the first version of "Affirmation").

A previously unreleased track, a demo from 1994 entitled "She", was premiered and released on 15 May and also features on the album. A limited edition of the album was released in Japan on 25 May 2016, and features an image of Josuke Higashikata from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable after the track "I Want You" was used as the ending theme of the anime adaptation.
