"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]
