Singer Merry Clayton provided backing vocals and sings the "man with the golden gun" bridge.

[2] Peaking at number seven on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100, "Cornflake Girl" also experienced commercial success worldwide.

The second, released on January 17, 1994, was a limited edition picture CD housed in a digipak, containing cover versions of the songs "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell, "If 6 Was 9" by Jimi Hendrix and "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday.

Ned Raggett from AllMusic described the song as "a waltz-paced number with an unnerving whistle and stuttering vocal hook.

Reminiscent of early Kate Bush, this track will look to alternative and college radio for acceptance first, with rock outlets hopefully responding as well.

"[6] Peter Paphides from Melody Maker said, "'Cornflake Girl' is a seductive mordant piano and guitar duel that resolves itself only when everything stops and Tori does this really scary Kate Bush-like squeal on the chorus.

The piano cascades, soft percussion, and ghostly chorus set it apart from the plod of Britpop and post-grunge dominating transatlantic charts at the time.

The performance was done per request by the winner of an online charity auction who paid about US$4000 to win the item "VIP Experience Meet Imogen Heap + A Song Just For You".

A cover version performed by Jeff Russo and Noah Hawley was used for the soundtrack to season 2 of the TV series Legion.
