"Spent the Day in Bed" was the first taste of Low in High School, Morrissey's 11th solo album: it arrived in September 2017 as the lead single, and as a free download for anyone who pre-ordered the record. He trailed it the day before with the first tweet of his life, a coy tease of the title, and BBC Radio 6 Music confirmed the name before giving the song its unveiling. Launching a record with a title that reads like a sick note has a certain deadpan wit.
Joe Chiccarelli produced it, with Gustavo Manzur writing the music and Morrissey the words. A seven-inch followed in late October, carrying a live cover of the Ramones' "Judy Is a Punk" on the flip.
