"We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey from his third studio album, Your Arsenal (1992).

"[citation needed] Andrew Collins in NME gave a very negative review of the single, writing that "this is by far and away the ex-Smith's WORST single" and described the music as "the sound of five men bashing around in the darkness in search of a tune" before finishing the review by announcing "Moz is history, and we'd all do well to learn it.

"[citation needed] In a retrospective review, Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote "It may be a mouthful, but as delivered it becomes a wonderfully funny, intentionally bitchy sentiment for this EP's lead track.

"[4] Morrissey debuted the song during the second US leg of his tour promoting the Kill Uncle album.

The first half of the song was performed during the aborted gig at Pauley Pavilion in 1991, in which 48 people were injured as the crowd rushed the stage.
