"Sheila Take a Bow" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr. Featuring a glam rock-style beat and guitar riff, the song was originally planned to feature Sandie Shaw on backing vocals, but Shaw's distaste for the song and Morrissey's illness during her session resulted in the vocals not being used.
"Sheila Take a Bow" was released as a non-album single in April 1987, and tied "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" as the band's highest charting UK single, reaching number ten on the charts. It has since seen positive critical reception for Morrissey's uplifting lyricism and Marr's guitar work. The song was included on the compilation album Louder Than Bombs, also released in 1987.
