"I Don't Know What To Do With My Life" is a Pete Shelley song, words and music both, from A Different Kind of Tension, the third Buzzcocks album, released by United Artists in September 1979. The title alone is pure Shelley: a shrug turned into a hook, the kind of confession most punk bands would sooner choke on than sing.
Martin Rushent produced and engineered it, as he did the rest of the record, with Richard Boon managing the band. The album was cut at Eden Studios and mixed at Genetic Sound, and George Peckham mastered it at Portland Recording Studio.
