Morrissey put out "My Love Life" in September 1991 as a single with no parent album, and it later turned up on the compilations World of Morrissey and Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey. After the rockabilly swagger of "Pregnant for the Last Time", he and co-writer Mark Nevin swung back toward bright, lilting pop, and this turned out to be their final single together.
Chrissie Hynde drifts in on harmony vocals, and Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley produced. The guitar credits belong to Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer, and they would soon sign on with Morrissey full-time, so the song works as a hinge between one chapter and the next. It reached number 29 in the UK.
