The Smiths were an English rock band active from 1982 to 1987. The group was based on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey and Johnny Marr and were signed to the independent record label Rough Trade Records.
The song was inspired by an incident on the radio where DJ Steve Wright had played the Wham! song "I'm Your Man" after a serious news report about the Chernobyl disaster. The band were disgusted at the dismissiveness of the disaster by Wright, which is why the song features the lines "The music that they constantly play / It says nothing to me about my life" and the spookily chirpy refrain "Hang the DJ".
