The B-side, "Flaming Red Hair", started life as a cover version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Another B-side, "How Come", was originally performed on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 1 show.

“Ashes” can be heard in the episode “Normal Is the Watchword” from the television series Veronica Mars.

The songs "Maybe I Wish", "Flaming Red Hair", and a live version of "How Come" are featured on the B-sides compilation Dry Kids: B-Sides 1997–2005.

"Ashes" was included on the soundtrack of the football video game FIFA 06.

On 14 August 2014, Reading F.C. fans chose "Ashes" as their official club anthem.[2]
