It was written by Ricky Ross and produced by Steve Osborne and Paul Oakenfold.

[2] The first B-side is the upbeat rock song, "Freedom Train", which is an original composition by the band, but is only presented in a live version.

The other two B-sides are the soaring "Here on the Wind" and Ricky and Lorraine's gentle duet, "Indigo Sky", both of which contain imagery related to the biblical account of Adam and Eve.

As with the previous release, "Only Tender Love", a special-edition CD single entitled "The Riches Collection Part 2" was issued.

In addition to "Hang Your Head", it again contained three tracks from the Riches bonus album.
