"Ask" was released as a single by The Smiths in October 1986, and went on to peak at No.14 on the UK Charts in November 1986.
The song features the late Kirsty MacColl on backing vocals, and as with a lot of singles by The Smiths, it was not released on an official album, only compilation albums.
Craig Gannon, a temporary rhythm guitarist for the band, has stated that he came up with some of the guitar parts for Ask during his short stint as a band member, although he was not credited on the single.
