Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe wrote "Why Don't We Live Together" for Please, the English synth-pop duo's debut studio album, which Parlophone released on 24 March 1986, with EMI America handling the US. Stephen Hague produced, with Ron Dean Miller also credited as producer and David Jacob engineering.
It's one of the nine songs keeping the number-one hit "West End Girls" company on the record, alongside "Suburbia", "Love Comes Quickly" and "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)", all three released as singles. When the pair signed to Parlophone in March 1985 they had been writing together for over three years, soaking up Italian disco, the new American hip-hop and the lo-fi electronic dance music of producer Bobby Orlando. They chose the album's title, they said, so that people could walk into a record shop and ask for the Pet Shop Boys album politely.
