Good Die Young (Divinyls song)

"Good Die Young" is a song by Australian rock band Divinyls, released in 1984. The single was lifted from the band's second studio album What a Life! and proved to be a moderate success in Australia.

Background

Divinyls began recording material for their second album over a two year span, with Christina Amphlett and Mark McEntee writing several songs and working with three different producers along the way. Mark Opitz was the first, having already produced the band's debut album Desperate. However Amphlett and McEntee were not satisfied with his efforts and eventually settled on musician/producer Gary Langan to work on the rest of the album. "Good Die Young" was one of the tracks recorded during Langan's run as producer, however a full album did not materialize at that stage and eventually Mike Chapman stepped in to produce the rest of What a Life! as well as the entirety of the band's next album Temperamental.

In Australia, "Good Die Young" was released as the lead single from the album What a Life!, as their previous song "Casual Encounter" appeared on their debut album Desperate. However, the American release of What a Life! also included "Casual Encounter", therefore making "Good Die Young" the second single release in the US.

D12 World

D12 World is the second studio album by Detroit hip hop group D12, released on April 27, 2004. The album sold 544,000 copies in its first week on the U.S. Billboard 200. The album is the last D12 album to feature Proof before his death in 2006, and the second D12 album to feature "Bugz" on a track.

Background

In memory of Bugz, who was killed prior to a concert on May 21, 1999, the group recorded the track "Good Die Young" in memory of him. The album also includes a song entitled "Bugz '97", which is a 1997 recording of Bugz, originally taken from the song "Desperados". The band was often overshadowed by Eminem's massive success, and as such, the band toured without him for promotion of the album (but the album still reached the top of the US Billboard chart). At the time, Eminem was busy recording Encore. Although shadowed by Eminem's success, members Bizarre and Proof managed to prevail with mildly successful solo careers following D12 World, with the releases of Hannicap Circus and Searching for Jerry Garcia in 2005. Before the album's release, "6 in the Morning" was featured on Eminem's 2003 mixtape Straight from the Lab and was entitled "Come On In".
