A Rose by Any Name

It was the lead single from the band's tenth studio album Ghosts of Download, released as a digital download in Europe on June 21, 2013[2] (eleven months ahead of its parent album), though it was never released in the U.S.

The song features The Gossip's frontwoman Beth Ditto on lead vocals with Debbie Harry.

Debbie Harry has commented that Laurel Katz-Bohen was expecting a baby when the song was written, although the couple were unsure of their gender - this is the meaning of the chorus lyric "if you're a boy or if you're a girl, I'll love you just the same".

[3] On June 20, 2013, the studio version of the song was premiered on the Ken Bruce show on BBC Radio 2.

[5] The song was one of five from the new album to be given away as a free download with each ticket purchased for the band's U.S. No Principals Tour in 2013.
