It is the seventh track on his World Peace Is None of Your Business album and was released as the fourth single off the album via digital download on 17 June 2014, through Harvest and Capitol Records. On 8 January 2015, Morrissey advised fans that a 45 of "The Bullfighter Dies" was scheduled for a global release by Harvest, but was scrapped by Steve Barnett at the last minute. The B-side was to be the original French mix of the song "One of Our Own".[1]

Critical reception

Spin magazine commented on the song, stating that "it's a brief but stirring two minutes, packed with sunny guitar leads and Moz's charming lilt. In short, it's a whole lot less morose than the downcast spoken word video might have led you to believe."[4]
