"Sing Your Life" was the second single Morrissey took from Kill Uncle, issued by His Master's Voice on 1 April 1991, and he wrote it with Mark E. Nevin, who also plays guitar on it. Former Madness frontman Suggs turns up on backing vocals, as he also did on "Piccadilly Palare", and Vic Reeves recorded some too, though his didn't make the final version; he got a thank-you in the sleeve notes instead.
The Madness connection carried over to the B-side, a cover of the Jam's "That's Entertainment" with Chas Smash, born Carl Smyth, singing backup. Britain wasn't buying: the single stalled at 33, the lowest any Morrissey single had charted in the UK up to then.
