The lead single from 'Victory For My Defeat,' "To Die a Virgin" is a prime example of The Divine Comedy's signature blend of jaunty chamber pop and wry commentary on modern life. It stands out for its lush orchestration and Hannon's effortlessly elegant vocal delivery.
- "To Die a Virgin" was released on 14 August 2006 by Parlophone UK.
- The single preceded the release of the album 'Victory For My Defeat' by several months.
- The song's title is a deliberate and provocative play on words, characteristic of Hannon's lyrical style.
