The single includes two B-sides: the previously unreleased song "Even in the Darkest Hours" (originally recorded by Belfast punks Ruefrex) and "Fox Hunt Mix", which is a remix of Fox's previous singles "I Surrender (To the Spirit of the Night)" and "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)". The CD single also features "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" as a B-side. It was her first single to be released on CD.

The song failed to match the success of its predecessors in Europe and performed moderately on the charts. The single peaked at number 62 in the United Kingdom and number 32 in Germany.
