Songfacts®:

• The Courteeners lead singer and songwriter Liam Fray wrote this in New York about a good friend of his.
• "Why Are You Still With Him?" was recorded by The Courteeners for their How Good It Was EP. The song was later included on the deluxe reissue of the band's fourth album Concrete Love, which came out as Concrete Love – Extra Love.
• The How Good It Was EP was the first official release tied to Concrete Love and includes four tracks: the title song, "Hometown One," "Sunflower," and "Why Are You Still With Him?"
• Fray's songs are generally drawn from personal experiences. "Why Are You Still With Him?" fits squarely into the vein of the Courteeners' relationship-themed output, a direct address to a woman still in a relationship the singer clearly feels she should have left. The bluntness of the title is very much in Fray's style, similar to earlier tracks like "How Good It Was" (also from Concrete Love), which is warning against poor romantic decisions and urging one to get out before their heart is broken.
