Walk On é a quarta faixa e quarto single do álbum All That You Can't Leave Behind, lançado em 2000, mas só saiu como single em 19 de novembro de 2001.
A canção alcançou a posição número 1 no Canadá, ficando entre as poucas faixas de U2 a dominar o topo das paradas daquele país.
A composição foi inspirada na ativista birmanesa Aung San Suu Kyi, refletindo a preocupação da banda com questões globais e humanitárias.
Em 2002, Walk On recebeu o prêmio de "Gravação do Ano", marcando a primeira vez que um artista ganhou um prêmio de canções do mesmo álbum em anos consecutivos.
