"Shipwrecked" is a song by English rock band Genesis, released in December 1997 as the second single from their fifteenth album, Calling All Stations (1997). It was a minor hit, reaching No.54 in the UK [1] and No.82 in Germany. [2]

The song is classified as a break-up song. The song sings about someone who has recently broken up with his significant other, and now feels "shipwrecked", hopeless, and alone.

Some single versions featured acoustic versions of " No Son of Mine", " Lover's Leap", and " Turn It On Again" as B-sides.
