In promotion of the album, the single "Glamorous Glue" from Your Arsenal was re-issued on CD and 7" vinyl. It charted at #69 in the UK charts, replacing "Hold on to Your Friends" as Morrissey's lowest charting single.
It also contains an influence of glam rock, because of the involvement of ex-Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, and songs like "Certain People I Know", "Glamorous Glue", and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday", which are respectively influenced by T. Rex, and David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust-period songs like "The Jean Genie", and the last by "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide".

Morrissey had been rehearsing with a new band prior to the release of Your Arsenal, which was the first official album of this new line up, whose core has remained stable to date: ever since this record was released, his music has been chiefly composed by either Alain Whyte or Boz Boorer, two musicians originally coming from the rockabilly scene.
