"We'll Live and Die in These Towns" is a song by British rock band the Enemy from their debut album, We'll Live and Die in These Towns. The single was released in 2007 and has peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart.
In March 2008, was filmed a video for this song by WMG. The video shows three members of the group in the evening riding in the car and looking through the window at their native city, (Coventry in the West Midlands of the UK.) Tom Clarke sings about his native city, where the group was founded, and which, despite all the disadvantages stay native forever.
Over the course of the 2023/24 season the song became the unofficial anthem of The Enemy's hometown football club Coventry City. The first verse and chorus of the song is played just before kick off at home matches at The CBS Arena.
The 'Sky Blue Army's' rendition of We'll Live and Die in These Towns before the 2024 FA Cup Semi-Final with Manchester United went viral and the use of the song by the club has been widely praised amongst football supporters owing to it's originality and connection to the City of Coventry[1] .
