Ashes to Ashes is the seventh track on Faith No More‘s sixth studio album Album of the Year. It was the album’s first single and was released on May 19, 1997. It was reissued on January 8, 1998.
When asked about the song, Billy Gould replied:
“The bulk of that song was written the first week. We arranged it here, and then we sent Patton a tape. He was in Italy, but he came up with the lyrics and the singing right away. It was one of those songs that just clicked — one of those songs that we do most naturally. That’s our sound.”
