"We're All Going To Die" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Malcolm Middleton. It is the opening track on his third album A Brighter Beat and is the fourth song from the album to be released as a single. It is scheduled for release in the UK as a digital download on iTunes on December 10 and more widely on December 17. A limited-edition seven-inch record was also released on the latter date.[1]

There was a campaign to make the song the Christmas number-one in the UK singles chart. It has been championed by Colin Murray and other BBC Radio 1 DJs.[2] The song was originally given odds of 1000/1 to reach the top spot by bookmakers William Hill, the longest odds they have ever given.[3] The odds were later cut to 9/1,[1] but in the event the song reached only number 31.[4]

The Christmas number-one slot is based on sales in the week leading up to Christmas, that means the week beginning December 17.
