The song first appeared in a different recording as the B-side to the band's second single release "Daddy's Gone" in November 2007 on Sane Man Records, and was rerecorded and released as a single in the UK on 23 February 2009.[1] The song was written and composed by the band's singer and guitarist James Allan, who explained that the song is about the murder of Kriss Donald to The Daily Record: "Sometimes when you read things or see things on TV, you can't help but put yourself in the position of people's misfortune. That was on my mind when I heard about the murder of Kriss Donald. It's about a kid who never made it home."[2] The title is a reference to the practice common in Britain of laying shirts of the deceased's preferred football team alongside wreaths of flowers. The flowers and footballs tops may be laid at the graveside, or - as is often the case with a violent death - at the place where they died. "Flowers & Football Tops" contains a reconfigured segment of the song "You Are My Sunshine," written by Charles Mitchell and Jimmie Davis. The green-colored 7" single for "Flowers & Football Tops" includes live tracks recorded on 16 December 2008 at Glasgow's Barrowlands, while the black vinyl single features tracks recorded on 18 December 2008 at Her Majesty's Young Offenders Institution Polmont, a prison located in Reddingmuirhead in the Falkirk region of central Scotland.[3][4] A [https://www.theguardian.com/music/video/2009/jan/15/glasvegas-cheating-heart music video] for "Flowers & Football Tops" premiered on The Guardian's website on 19 January 2009,[5][6] and won two awards at the 2009 UK Music Video Awards for best cinematography and best visual effects.[7] The single entered the top 100 on the UK Singles Chart at number 98, but was a number-one hit in Scotland, becoming Glasvegas's second number one on the Scottish Singles Chart after "Geraldine". The Scottish singles chart at this point only included physical sales so did not register most sales in Scotland which counted towards the UK charts.
