The title of the EP was taken from the DOS error message "Abort, Retry, Fail?". This referred to the problems White Town's sole member, Jyoti Mishra, had when a computer crashed during the production of the track. The liner notes of the single explain this with "I got the title for this single from the weekend I mixed the tracks. My hard drive went bonkers and I spent 72 reformatting the dang thing". The notes do not explain what time scale the "72" refers to.

Notes
- The EP was released as both 4-track and 2-track CD singles. The cassette single contained only the first two tracks. The 12" single contained the first two tracks plus a remix of "Your Woman" by Scissorkicks.
- The trumpet on "Your Woman" is sampled from "My Woman" by Lew Stone and the Monseigneur Band. Mishra discovered the song via the 1978 BBC television series Pennies From Heaven.[2]
