"Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together" is on Viva Hate, Morrissey's first album without the Smiths, released by His Master's Voice on 14 March 1988, just six months after Strangeways, Here We Come. The song follows the album's working method: Morrissey wrote the words and Stephen Street wrote the music.
That partnership started when Street, who had worked on a string of Smiths records, sent Morrissey demos meant as possible Smiths B-sides once Johnny Marr had left. Morrissey liked them enough to build a solo debut on them, cut only two months after the Smiths broke up, with Street producing and playing bass and Vini Reilly of the Durutti Column on guitar. The sound of a singer stepping out alone, and in no mood to wait.
