Overview
- The studio track replaces the 2023 live line “It’s not terrorism” with “There’s nothing to see here.”
- The song addresses the 2019 Notre-Dame fire and implies a deliberate act, including lines such as “we know who tried to kill you” and “we will not be silent.”
- Paris’ chief prosecutor said in April 2024 that analyses increasingly support an accidental origin after exploring all avenues.
- “Notre-Dame” is the second single from Make-Up Is A Lie, due March 6 via Sire/Warner, marking Morrissey’s first album in six years.
- The rollout continues alongside unresolved disputes over the unreleased Bonfire Of Teenagers and recent tour cancellations cited as due to illness and a medication reaction.
