Amber is a song by American rock band 311, released on their 2001 album From Chaos and issued as a single in 2002. Written with a strong reggae influence, it became one of the band's most recognisable tracks and a staple of early 2000s alternative radio. The chorus and guitar tone kept the song in rotation long after its release, through compilations, covers and streaming playlists. Short clips later found a second life online, where creators reuse the familiar hook for nostalgic, romantic and summer themed posts.
