On 7 March 2014 it was announced that the forthcoming album was finished, provisionally set for a late June/early July release through the Harvest Records label, and was entitled World Peace Is None Of Your Business.

Prior to the release of World Peace Is None Of Your Business, Morrissey released the digital single "World Peace Is None Of Your Business" on 13 May 2014, which subsequently reached the #83 slot in the UK charts.
