A live version of the song recorded in Berlin during the band's tour there in November 2006 was released in the United States on 13 March 2007 as part of a promotional disc offered at Best Buy stores.[2] It has been noted by some fans that the version included on the promo CD is actually the studio version, rather than the live version as stated on the card sleeve.

Both the CD and 7" formats of the single were issued at a limited run, and was deleted one week after its release.[3]

The song has been covered by The Little Ones, which is available on a 7" single with the Kaiser Chiefs' "Love's Not a Competition (But I'm Winning)".
