"Your Song Saved My Life" is a song by the Irish rock band U2. It was released as a single on 3 November 2021 and was written for the animated musical comedy movie Sing 2, in which lead vocalist Bono appears as a voice actor.[1] The band's first original track since 2019,[2] it was described by Bono as autobiographical: "There's a part of me that would die without that form of expression, because somebody said as a performer, insecurity is your best security. Any great performer is lacking something."[1] A prominent inspiration for the track was the list of "60 Songs That Saved My Life" compiled by Bono at the time of his 60th birthday.[3]

Reception

In a review of the song entitled "U2's 'Your Song Saved My Life' is Possibly the Worst Song of the Year", Wren Graves of Consequence called the song a "treacly mess" whose melody "makes AM adult contemporary sound like a nonstop thrill ride."[4] Conversely, Ed Power of The Irish Times stated the song "ticks many classic-U2 boxes by being epic and very, very sincere."[5]

The track was shortlisted for Best Original Song at the 94th Academy Awards.[6]
