"Shiver" was written by Imbruglia, Francis White and Shep Solomon, whilst production was handled by Stephen Lipson.

Shiver was officially Britain's most broadcast track in 2005, indicating most played on radio, MTV and commercial use.

Shiver became Natalie Imbruglia's biggest pan-European airplay track since "Torn" and as a result is considered her second-biggest hit.

[1][8] The video begins with Imbruglia in a field burning some items including her passport and personal effects.

Her other pursuer suddenly blocks her way, she then reverses back down the street, turns the car around and drives away; Imbruglia is unusually calm despite these circumstances, implying that this is a typical occurrence.

When the pursuers lose sight of her, she goes into a locker room, alters her appearance and obtains a fake passport, in order to take a train to another city.

She enters her flat and locks the door, she then sits down at a table and appears to reflect on the day's events.
