“Bigmouth Strikes Again” foi o single principal do álbum *The Queen Is Dead*, atingindo o número 26 na parada britânica de 1986.
A faixa encerra o único álbum ao vivo da banda, *Rank*, marcando o fim de cada show.
Morrissey trouxe a canção de volta ao palco em 2004, gravando-a para o álbum *Live at Earls Court* (2005).
Em junho de 2013, o guitarrista Johnny Marr interpretou a música na transmissão *Later With Jools Holland*.
Nas letras, o protagonista se descreve como “Joan of Arc” enquanto “as chamas subiam ao seu nariz romano”, e a linha original sobre o Walkman “derreteu” costuma ser trocada por “iPod” nas atuações ao vivo.
O canto de apoio em tom agudo não é outro vocalista, mas sim a própria voz de Morrissey elevada, enquanto o crédito “Ann Coates” faz alusão ao bairro de Ancoats, em Manchester.
