"No Ordinary Morning" features the vocals of Tracy Ackerman and is co-written by Ray Hedges.

"Halcyon" refers to Halcyon, a genus of kingfishers (specifically, those of the Halcyonidae family) in scientific classification, as is evident by the opening moments of the song, where a kingfisher's call is heard before the tempo starts to pick up and the song begins.

On 6 October 2008, Chicane released the greatest hits album, The Best of Chicane: 1996–2008, which includes a reworked version of "Halcyon".
