Subsequently, it was used as the B-side of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" to promote the compilation album The John Lennon Collection in November 1982.

It was released on 4 October 2004, in North America and parts of Europe as the first promotional single.

Dion performed this song on a few US TV shows, including Live with Regis and Kelly.
