"My Weakness Is None of Your Business" is a song by English rock band Embrace from their debut album, The Good Will Out (1998). It was released on 17 August 1998 and became the band's third top-10 single, peaking at number nine on the UK Singles Chart, but it dropped out of the top 40 the following week.

CD2 contains three songs from the album performed live at Abbey Road Studios, and is part of an EP of songs recorded live during the "Abbey Road Sessions" that was released the same year. The song had previously been included as the B-side of the limited-edition vinyl release of "All You Good Good People" in early 1997.[3]
