“Annabel” is the second track on Goldfrapp’s sixth studio album, Tales of Us.

Based on Kathleen Winter’s 2010 novel of the same name, the song is about a child who was born intersex, whose parents decided to raise as a boy, but he struggles with his feminine identity (named Annabel) . While the lyrics suggest that things do not fare well for this individual, the accompanying music video shows a beneficent maternal figure supporting the child.
