"Certain People I Know" was the first Morrissey single to be released following the singer's bottling off stage at the Madstock festival when he supported Madness and the subsequent NME story regarding his alleged racism.^[4][5] This led to the single cover being changed from featuring the singer's name spelt out in the colours of the Union Jack to plain black writing.^[6]
