"Poison Prince" is the first single from Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald's debut album, This Is the Life, and charted at number 136 on the UK Singles Chart in 2007.[2] Its initial limited release was on 7 May 2007, and it was later re-released 19 May 2008. The lyrics were based on the life of Babyshambles and The Libertines singer Pete Doherty, and were written as an ode to the troubled musician.[3]
"Poison Prince" was initially offered as a limited online-only release, and was included as the third track on her debut album This Is The Life, released 7 May 2007. The music video features Amy performing in a nightclub and walking around various locations in Glasgow.
On 19 May 2008, a year and 12 days after the limited release was released,[4] a new music video for the song "Poison Prince" was released.[5] [6] The video was filmed at her Rock Against Racism show in Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland.
