"Paris Is Burning" debuted at number 61 on the UK Singles Chart, dropping 39 places to number 100 the following week. It entered the New Zealand Singles Chart at number 40, making it Ladyhawke's highest-charting song. In Australia it peaked at number 52, despite the song being in heavy rotation on Channel V Australia.

The video for "Paris Is Burning" includes Ladyhawke walking through a street with a wolf ahead of her, intermittently showing her walking through falling feathers, electric sparks, and bits of plastic. She also carries a drunk man and is followed by people for portions of the music video before she walks into a bright light in the distance with the wolf, car alarms blaring as the video fades. The video was directed by Danish director Casper Balslev.
