"We're All Going To Die" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Malcolm Middleton, and the fourth single released from A Brighter Beat. The song was released on December 10 and more widely on December 17 2007. A limited-edition seven-inch record was also released at a later 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.
Regarding the song, Middleton notes that the song has "nothing whatsoever" to do with Christmas and that it is about "general life worries."[5]
