The US single included the B-side "New Star". This song was played during the opening credits of the 1994 film Threesome and appears on the film's soundtrack album. It was also later included on the 1996 Tears for Fears compilation album Saturnine Martial & Lunatic.
Music video
The music video was directed by Dani Jacobs and shows Orzabal and the rest of the group performing in a bar. It also shows brief video fragments of other things including scenes from a boardwalk and a picture of a toothbrush. The overall theme visually was that of a 1990s American southwest.
