The B-side was "I Kicked a Boy", which also appeared on the album. The 12" single contained an additional, non-album track, "Don't Tell Your Mother". The single reached number 45 on the UK Singles Chart and number 74 in Australia, and it was voted number one in John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1989.{{cite web|title=Keeping It Peel − Festive 50s − 1989|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/festive50s/1980s/1989/|work=BBC Radio 1|accessdate=25 September 2012}}
