Morrissey Wishes You Lonely On The Splashy New Single From His Upcoming Album ‘Low In High School’

Loneliness has been a signature theme of Morrissey’s oeuvre for decades now, going all the way back to his earliest days with his iconic group The Smiths. The singer returned to that well once again recently on the latest single from his upcoming album Low In High School , a splashy new song titled “I Wish You Lonely.”

The new offering is surprisingly vital, filled out by a host of buzzy, warbling ’80s sounding synth lines. In the song itself, Moz makes the case for selfishness and self-preservation. “Think of yourself only / Of everything you demand / You want and you need / And to hell / To hell with everybody else, everybody else.”

Those hoping to catch Morrissey live in North America this year are in luck. A little while back, the singer announced a whole new slew of dates set to kick off in Portland on Halloween. Check out the full itinerary below, and cross your fingers that he doesn’t cancel at the last minute.
