The Swing is Australian rock band INXS's fourth studio album, released in April 1984. In September 1983 the band travelled to New York City to work with Nile Rodgers (Madonna, The Power Station, Debbie Harry, David Bowie, Kim Carnes) as producer at his Power Station studio. It was the first time the group had recorded outside Australia and provided the album's lead single, "Original Sin" (December 1983). Rodgers asked Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates to guest on backing vocals for the chorus, Hall later recalled "I don't know why because they're good singers, they didn't need me but I did it anyway".
All four singles were co-written by Andrew with Hutchence, while other album tracks were generally written with one or more additional band members.
From December INXS were working with Nick Launay (Midnight Oil, Models) at The Manor Studio in Oxfordshire, to complete the rest of the album.
