I am the son and the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does I am the son and the heir Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does There's a club if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go, and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home, and you cry, and you want to die When you say: It's gonna happen now Well, when exactly do you mean? See, I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does

“How Soon Is Now?” foi escrita por Morrissey e Johnny Marr em 1984.
Inicialmente foi lançada como B‑side de “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” no 12” de “William, It Was Really Nothing”.
A canção apareceu nas compilações *Hatful of Hollow* e nas edições US, australiana e Warner UK de *Meat Is Murder*.
Em 1985 foi lançada como A‑side no Reino Unido, alcançando a 24ª posição nas paradas de singles.
A versão original tem quase 7 minutos; a edição de 7” foi reduzida para menos de quatro minutos.
Apesar de ser favorita nos clubes, o desempenho nas paradas foi abaixo das expectativas, possivelmente porque já havia sido distribuída em várias formas antes do lançamento como single.
