The final single from the last Ultravox album to feature Midge Ure, "Same Old Story" is a prime example of the band's late-period embrace of electronic soundscapes and melancholic themes. It captures the band at a transitional moment, bridging their past successes with an uncertain future.

Ultravox was a British-Austrian band formed in London in 1973, best known for their pioneering work in electronic music and synth-pop. By 1986, the band had undergone significant lineup changes and was on the verge of disbanding.
