WE HATE IT WHEN OUR FRIENDS BECOME SUCCESSFUL ALBUM INFO

We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful album cover

Artist: Universal Poplab
Album: We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful
Release Date:

"We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" was a single by Morrissey released in April 1992. It was taken from the then-unreleased ''Your Arsenal'' album and was the first Morrissey single to be written by Alain Whyte and produced by glam rock legend Mick Ronson.

Reaching number 17 in the UK Singles Chart, the song shows a harder edge to Morrissey's sound and moves away from the lighter pop of his 1991 album ''Kill Uncle''.

Reel Big Fish covered the song on their 2005 album ''We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy'', replacing the lyric "And if they are Northern" with "And if they are No Doubt".

Morrissey claimed that the lyrics were about the music scene on Manchester, with bands contesting for success.
