Along with the recent single Bruises On All My Illusions and the album title track *Happiness Not Included, Purple Zone primes fans as to what to expect from Soft Cell’s new album:  a distinctive and striking balance between light and shade, hope and despair, the personal and the universal.

Pet Shop Boys added, "We are thrilled to collaborate with such an inspirational duo as Soft Cell on this gorgeous song."

The track is accompanied by this music video featuring both bands, directed by Yassa Khan, and filmed in London earlier this year.
