"Big Bro Thang" is a single released in 2007 by the UK hip hop/R&B group Big Brovaz. It was taken as the third single from their second album, Re-Entry and their first not to be released as a CD single.

The single was originally due for release in September 2006 but was pushed back until 2007 so it would be eligible to compete in Making Your Mind Up, the British pre-selection for the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest; however, Big Brovaz were voted off after the first round of voting.

It was after this exposure on BBC 1 that Big Brovaz released the single as a digital download only single, preceding the Re-Entry album release on 9 April 2007. The release dates for the digital versions were staggered between February and March, 2007.

"Big Bro Thang" only peaked at number 171 in the official UK Singles Chart due to the group not releasing it as a CD single. [1] The only exposure the single had was through the Making Your Mind Up show and it failed to receive both television and radio airplay.
