"This Charming Man" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and singer Morrissey. Released as the group's second single in October 1983 on the independent record label Rough Trade, it is defined by Marr's jangle pop guitar riff and Morrissey's characteristically morose lyrics, which revolve around the recurrent Smiths themes of sexual ambiguity and lust. Feeling detached from the early 1980s mainstream gay culture, Morrissey wrote "This Charming Man" to evoke an older, more coded and self-aware underground scene; the singer said of the song's lyrics: "I like the idea of the male voice being quite vulnerable, of it being taken and manipulated, rather than there being always this heavy machismo thing that just bores everybody."Although only moderately successful on first release—the single peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, "This Charming Man" has been praised in both the music and mainstream press. Re-issued in 1992, it reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2004, BBC Radio 2 listeners voted it number 97 on the station's "Sold on Song Top 100" poll. Mojo magazine journalists placed the track at number 1 on their 2008 "50 Greatest UK Indie Records of All Time" feature, it was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry in 2015. By early 1983, the Smiths had gained a large following on the UK live circuit and had signed a record deal with the indie label Rough Trade; the deal, along with positive concert reviews in the weekly music press and an upcoming session on John Peel's radio show on BBC Radio 1, generated a large media buzz for the band. In a music scene dominated by corporate and video-driven acts, the Smiths' camp and bookish image stood out, many expected the band to be the breakthrough act of the UK post-punk movement; the previous October Frankie Goes to Hollywood released their iconic track "Relax", seen as an anthem to an out alpha male self-assertiveness, alien to many UK homosexuals. However, the Smiths' May 1983 debut single "Hand in Glove" failed to live up to critical and commercial expectations due to its perceived low production values.

When Rough Trade label mates Aztec Camera began to receive day-time national radio-play with their track "Walk out to Winter", Marr admitted to "feeling a little jealous, my competitive urges kicked in". The guitarist believed the Smiths needed an up-beat song, "in a major key", to gain a chart positioning that would live up to expectations. Marr wrote the music to "This Charming Man" for the Peel session on the same night that he wrote "Still Ill" and "Pretty Girls Make Graves". Based on the Peel performance, Rough Trade label head Geoff Travis suggested that the band release the song as a single instead of the slated release "Reel Around the Fountain", which had gathered notoriety in the press due to what were seen as lyrical references to pedophilia; the Smiths entered Matrix Studios in London on September 1983 to record a second studio version of the song for release as a single. However, the result—known as the'London version'—was unsatisfactory and soon after, the band travelled to Strawberry Studios in Stockport to try again.

Here, they recorded the more heard A-side. The lyrics of "This Charming Man" comprise a first person narrative in which the male protagonist punctures one of his bicycle's wheels on a remote hillside. A passing "charming man" in a luxury car stops to offer the cyclist a lift, although the protagonist is at first hesitant, after much deliberation he accepts the offer. While driving together the pair flirt, although the protagonist finds it difficult to overcome his reluctance: "I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear"; the motorist tells the cyclist: "it's gruesome that someone so handsome should care". Morrissey deliberately used archaic language when composing the voice-over style lyrics for "This Charming Man", his use of phrases and words such as'hillside desolate','stitch to wear','handsome' and'charming' are used to convey a more courtly world than the mid-Eighties north of England, evoke a style that has, in the words of the music critic Mat Snow, "nothing to do with fashion".

Morrissey had used the word'handsome' in a song title—in "Handsome Devil", the B-side to "Hand in Glove"—and observed in a 1983 interview with Barney Hoskyns that he used the word to "try and revive some involvement with language people no longer use. In the daily scheme of things, people's language is so frighteningly limited, if you use a word with more than 10 letters it's absolute snobbery." Snow puts forward the case that through the use of the dated word'charming', Morrissey sought to rebel against the mainstream gay culture from which he felt alienated. Morrissey told Hoskyns: "I hate this'festive faggot' thing... People think no further than what anyone would presume. I hate that angle, it's surprising that the gay press have harped on more than anyone else. I hate it when people talk to me about sex in a trivial way."As with many of Morrissey's compositions, the song's lyrics features dialogue borrowed from a cult film. The line "A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place" is borrowed from the 1972 film adaptation of Anthony Shaffer's 1970 homoerotic play Sleuth, in which Laurence Olivier plays a cuckolded author to Michael Caine's'bit of rough'.

Both studio versions begin with an introductory guitar riff, joined by the rhythm section. Morrissey's vocals are first heard eight seconds into the track, his vocal melodies are diatonic, consciously avoid blues inflections. The chorus is played twice; the rhythm section of Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce provide a b
