"Walk Away" is a song by Scottish alternative rock band Franz Ferdinand and is featured on their second album, You Could Have It So Much Better. It was released 5 December 2005 as the second single from that album in the UK, entering the UK Singles Chart at #13 a week later (see 2005 in British music). During the Exit festival in Novi Sad, Serbia on 6th of July 2006 Alexander Kapranos explained that the song was dedicated to Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian-Bosnian anarchist who shot the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He said: "Serbians! There's one Serbian who's particularly dear to us. His name is Gavrilo Princip. This song is dedicated to him!".

The words of the song could be also understood as a perfect love song.

The video for the song premiered 4 November 2005 on Channel 4.
