"Here to Stay" is a song by New Order, produced by The Chemical Brothers, which was released as a single in 2002. Unavailable on any album, it was available both as a single and as a track on their compilation International. An extended instrumental was on their box set Retro.

The song was the closing track from the movie 24 Hour Party People, the only totally new composition for the movie. Its video, in black and white, took some scenes from the movie, and featured John Simm, who played Bernard Sumner in the movie, reprising his role. The video was dedicated to Rob Gretton, Martin Hannett and Ian Curtis, three people instrumental in the foundation of the band who had since died.

The track was released without major marketing, but still reached #15 in the UK charts. The figure would have been higher had sales of the DVD version been counted with the CD sales, as it also sold well.

The song was B-Sided with the track "Player in the League", New Order's failed entry for ITV's 'Match of the Day'. The track was originally slated for inclusion on 'Get Ready', but was dropped. ^[1]
