"'Poison Prince'" is the first single from Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald's debut album, 'This Is the Life', and charted at number 136 on the UK Singles Chart in 2007. Its initial limited release was on 7 May 2007, and it was later re-released 19 May 2008. The lyrics were based on the life of Babyshambles and The Libertines singer Pete Doherty, and were written as an ode to the troubled musician.
