"Stacking Chairs" is a song by Australian group Middle Kids released on 5 March 2021 as the fourth single from the group's second studio album, Today We're the Greatest.
In a statement, Hannah Joy said the song is a reflection on marriage to bandmate Tim Fitz, saying, "Going on the journey of marriage with Tim has been profound. It is very liberating having someone see you in your entirety and stay. Tim embodies that kind of 'stacking chairs' love – he's not just about the party. He's around afterward when I'm tired and ugly and loves me in those moments."[1][2]
The W.A.M. Bleakley directed music video was released in August 2021.[3]
The song polled at number 39 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2021. The song was certified gold in Australia in 2025.
