On 10 AUG 1987, The Smiths released “Girlfriend in a Coma” - a single from the band's fourth and final studio album “Strangeways, Here We Come”.
"Girlfriend in a Coma" has seen critical acclaim since its release. David Browne of Rolling Stone praised the song's "bright acoustic guitars" for "add[ing] a folksy grace" to the track. Tim DiGravina of AllMusic named the song as a highlight of Strangeways, stating, "Punchy and fun, yet sad and tender, 'Girlfriend in a Coma' is a gleaming, romantic treat from a band crafting brilliant, genre-defining music in the turmoil of its dying days."
Rolling Stone ranked the song as the 34rd best Smiths song, while NME named it the band's 20th best. Guitar named the song as the band's 17th greatest guitar moment, concluding, "Despite the higher watermarks elsewhere on Strangeways, it's still 'Girlfriend in a Coma''s hooky little acoustic earworm that sticks in our grey matter the longest". Consequence ranked the song as the band's 23rd best, writing, "there's something so appealing about how Marr's upbeat composition clashes with the blacker-than-black comedy of Morrissey's lyrics."
