In 1996, "Arms of Loren" was signed to Manifesto Records, who commissioned a remix by Nip & Tuck which removed the vocal bridges and restructured the lyrics of the chorus.

"Arms of Loren" received heavy support from numerous DJs including Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Sasha and Paul Oakenfold and expectations for chart success were high for the track upon its release on 22 July 1996 on CD, 12-inch and cassette.

After its release, "Arms of Loren" continued to be played frequently in clubs over the following years and the track did make a brief re-appearance in the UK Top 200 in March 1998, reaching #155.

British magazine Music Week rated the song four out of five, adding, "Pumping beats and a crystal clear female vocal are wrapped up in Robert Miles-ish dreamy vibes.

[13] Once again upon release (on CD and two separate 12" versions), the track failed to meet commercial expectations, debuting at #31 – six places lower than the original, falling to #44 in its second week and then to #65.

[citation needed] In early 2006, All Around The World Productions commissioned several new remixes of the track,[14] which had continued to live on in the clubs, both the Steinway version from 1996 and the Ferry Corsten mix from 2001 to 2002.
