"Beautiful People" is a song written and recorded by Pet Shop Boys, and was released on 25 September 2009, as the third single from their tenth studio album Yes. This single was released in Germany only first, at the request of EMI Germany. In November it was released in the USA as a download.
B-side, "Fugitive", was originally included on the limited edition of their 2006 album Fundamental in an extended version. The song was produced by Richard X.
Both the demo version of "Beautiful People" and the remix of "Up And Down" had been previously available digitally. The demo was available to stream from the official Pet Shop Boys website and the remix was available as a free download during the "Did You See Me Coming?" single campaign. Remixes by Vinny Vero were commissioned but not used due delays in their completion. They were later released unofficially as a free download on his website.
