"Ask" is a song recorded by the English rock band the Smiths. It was released as a single on 20 October 1986 through Rough Trade Records. Credited to vocalist Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, Ask is an ostensibly upbeat, positive pop song built around major chords. Its lyrics discuss shyness and encourage listeners to overcome their inhibitions. Its multiple guitar parts and complex production led to disagreements regarding its final mix. Craig Gannon, who at the time was rhythm guitarist for the group, has claimed he wrote – and was denied credit for – the song's chord structure.

Credited to vocalist Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, Ask is an ostensibly upbeat, positive pop song built around major chords. Its lyrics discuss shyness and encourage listeners to overcome their inhibitions. Its multiple guitar parts and complex production led to disagreements regarding its final mix. Craig Gannon, who at the time was rhythm guitarist for the group, has claimed he wrote – and was denied credit for – the song's chord structure. "Ask" continued the Smiths' top-20 streak in their native country, peaking at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. It reached number nine on the Irish Singles Chart. Filmmaker Derek Jarman directed the song's music video. Like most of the Smiths' singles, it was not included on a studio album. It can be found on the compilations The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs (both 1987) as well as the live album Rank (1988). (en)
  • «Ask» —en español: «Pide»— es una canción de la banda británica The Smiths. Fue lanzada como sencillo en octubre de 1986, alcanzando el puesto 14.º en el UK Singles Chart. Como ocurre con la mayoría de los sencillos de The Smiths, no estaba incluido en un álbum original. Se puede encontrar en las compilaciones The World Won't Listen y Louder Than Bombs, así como el álbum en vivo Rank, donde es presentado como el nuevo sencillo de la banda. La portada del Reino Unido muestra a Yootha Joyce, quien protagonizó la serie de televisión del Reino Unido George y Mildred. La canción tiene a Kirsty MacColl en los coros. Hay dos versiones de esta canción. La versión que aparece en el sencillo y el álbum , que se desvanece un poco más temprano y la pista de voz que dura hasta el final de la canción. Los coros en esta versión también son mezclados de manera diferente y son más fuertes. La versión que aparece en todos los discos (a excepción de los enumerados anteriormente) se desvanece más tarde (aunque el final de la pista es audible, aunque en un nivel muy bajo) y cuenta con la pista vocal antes de que la decoloración comience.
