The song was the band's second top-20 hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States, climbing to number 16.

Another B-side on CD2, "MSG", is an alternate version of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" that features the percussion and bass line from that song, with psychedelic soundscapes added.

[9][10] A review in Cherwell stated that while the track was "not as instantly classically catchy" as Bitter Sweet Symphony, "it's likely to grow on you".

Richard Ashcroft sings the song whilst playing an acoustic guitar; the rest of the band look on.

The US version was shot in New York City, featuring the band in an apartment and then travelling to a mountain top.
