"Same Jeans" is the third single by Dundee band The View, with the B-Sides being "Cherry Girl" and "Screamin' n Shoutin'". It appears on the album Hats Off to the Buskers. It was Radio 1's Jo Whiley's record of the week commencing 27 November 2006 and was released on 15 January 2007. The single topped the MTV Two/NME video charts (based on viewer votes) on 10 December 2006. It follows the singles "Wasted Little DJs" and "Superstar Tradesman" and is the third and final release before the album on 22 January 2007.

Receiving significantly more airplay than the previous singles, it was the first single by the band to enter the BBC Radio 2 playlist and the first to be A-listed by BBC Radio 1. It entered the charts at #11 on downloads alone before hitting #3 the following week. It has spent more weeks in the UK Top 40 than the two previous singles combined. It became the band's first and to date only major hit as well as their third UK Top 20 single; in fact, it is to date the band's only Top 10 success.

Mika covered this song during a BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge session on 31 January 2007.
