The single was relatively unsuccessful due to relentless touring outside Australia and the car crash of Chris Cheney in September 2001[2] leading to a lack of promotion.[3]
The second track of the single, "Revolution Regained", was written by Cheney and originally performed by the band on Roll On, however for the single they included a version recorded by the Dili Allstars (an East Timorese reggae/ska band based in Melbourne). The third track is a cover of the Cole Porter song, "I Get a Kick Out of You".
