The flip side of the single was "On Time", a country rock number composed by Maurice Gibb.

[3] "My World" was written in the backstage of ITV's The Golden Shot with some of the same musical ideas as "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart".

Maurice said "Whether something is a soft ballad or an uptempo thing, we would record it if we thought it was going to make a good single".

Barry Gibb explains "My World": "it's not from the album, followed along some of the same musical ideas as 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart'".

[4] As Robin Gibb states in the liner notes of Tales from the Brothers Gibb, "One rollicking little jaunt that me and the lads came up with in downtown Birmingham, England, whilst doing a television show called Golden Shot, the ensuing results being that it went on to be a huge top 20 hit in the UK and the US that left the three of us 'drooling' with pleasure.
