The B-sides continue to show the band's diverse range. "Almost Beautiful" is a classic, bluesy rock track, and "I've Been Making Such a Fool" is a simple, but lush, track in the style of a singer-songwriter confessional.
Additional versions of the single release contain various dance remixes of "Your Town".
