"What Doesn't Kill You" led the charge for Shangri La, Jake Bugg's second album, arriving as a UK download in September 2013, and it's the English singer-songwriter in punk rock mode. Rick Rubin produced it, and the credits are stacked: Chad Smith and Pete Thomas on drums and percussion, Jason Lader on baritone guitar, bass and piano, and Matt Sweeney swapping acoustic, electric and slide guitar with Bugg himself.
Bugg wrote it with Iain Archer, and the title tips its hat to Nietzsche. Andrew Scheps and Billy Bush mixed it, and it reached number 44 on the UK singles chart and 32 in Scotland.
