“The Drugs Don’t Work” foi escrita por Richard Ashcroft e faz parte do terceiro álbum de estúdio da The Verve, *Urban Hymns*.
Lançada em 1 de setembro 1997 como segundo single do álbum, a canção entrou direto no topo da UK Singles Chart.
O videoclipe começa com a banda caminhando pela rua, dando continuidade visual ao final de “Bitter Sweet Symphony”.
O tom melancólico da música acabou coincidindo com o luto nacional, pois foi lançada no dia seguinte ao falecimento da Princesa Diana.
Em 2011, a NME classificou “The Drugs Don’t Work” como a 78ª melhor faixa dos “150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years”.
A canção ficou em sétimo lugar na lista da Channel 4 dos “100 Greatest #1 Singles”.
