Originally ''Years Of Refusal'' was to be released on 15 September 2008 in the UK and 16 September 2008 in the US. However, the album's release date was delayed until 2 February 2009 at the request of Decca UK so Morrissey could have time to shop for a new label to distribute the album in the US after he withdrew from Decca US for their 'poor promotion of his ''Greatest Hits'' release'. Morrissey eventually agreed to a US distribution deal with the Lost Highway label. It was also later announced that 23 February 2009 would be the new release date for ''Years Of Refusal''. Finally, in a press release from Universal Music it was announced that the final release date for the album would be 16 February 2009 with the first single, "[[I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris (single)|I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris]]", preceding the album a week earlier on 9 February 2009. | Originally ''Years Of Refusal'' was to be released on 15 September 2008 in the UK and 16 September 2008 in the US.
