The song was included on both of the greatest hits albums that Echobelly have released; I Can't Imagine The World Without Me and The Best Of Echobelly.[2][3] The song was also re-released acoustically by Glen Johansson and Sonya Madan under the name Calm of Zero. It appears on the EP Acoustic Sessions 1.[4]

A music video was made for the song.[5]

It reached 20 in the UK Singles Chart, making it their second highest charting single to date (behind Great Things). Despite this, however, Sonya believes it could have charted higher, had the label been more positive about the song. However, due to the issues the company were dealing with, they didn't really promote the single.
