'"A Question of Honour"' is a 1995 single by soprano Sarah Brightman, from her album 'Fly'. It peaked at No. 15 on the German Singles Chart in the last week of 1995, even though it was released over five months earlier. "A Question of Honour" was also the official song of the championship boxing match between Henry Maske and Graciano Rocchigiani in Germany. In Japan, TV Asahi adopted the song as the theme music of FIFA World Cup broadcasting since 2002 and plays it in related television programs. The Sisters of Mercy front man, Andrew Eldritch provides backing vocals in the song.
"A Question of Honour" features an excerpt of Alfredo Catalani's aria "Ebben? Ne andr lontana" from 'La Wally', a piece which Brightman later recorded in full for her album 'Time to Say Goodbye'. The extended mix of the song, released on the standard CD single and 'Harem Tour' album, was mastered differently from the album version and features additional instrumentation. B-side "On the Nile", a rendition of "My Own Home" from Disney's 'The Jungle Book' with original lyrics by Brightman, was later made available on the limited edition 'Fly II'. The "A Whiter Shade of Pale" US single featured all of the "A Question of Honour" remixes from the remix CD.
In 2011 the song was certified by the Recording Industry Association of Japan as a Gold single for more than 100,000 digital downloads.
