The single includes a B-side, "The Earth Shook the Devil's Hand". "Mixed Up World" peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart and was especially successful in Denmark, where it debuted and peaked at number three. It has sold 35,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

Music video

The music video, directed by Rupert Jones, features men in bowler hats as Ellis-Bextor moves between giant black and white punctuation marks. It was the first video that shows her hair dyed blond. A short clip from the video was featured in an ad on Australia's VH1 channel in June 2006.
