The song was released as the third single in March 2005 and reached the top 50 in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 44.

The DVD includes the original video for "Wisemen", exclusive "Making Of" footage and a live audio recording of "Out of My Mind".

Following its UK re-release, the song became his fourth top-40 single when it peaked at number 23 on the same chart, spending a total of six weeks in the top 75.

The second version, which was released in tandem with the UK re-release of the single, has Blunt burning his personal papers and passport in a forest before slowly internally combusting.

During a guest-hosting slot on the BBC2 programme "Never Mind the Buzzcocks", Blunt was asked what the line meant and said that "Semi" referred to a "semi-automatic rifle".
