"You Look So Fine" closed either the main set or encore at every headlining show Garbage performed on the two-year-long Version 2.0 world tour.

The release of the single was promoted by a torch song version arranged by Fun Lovin' Criminals, on which singer Shirley Manson performed a new vocal.

[2] "You Look So Fine" was written, recorded and mixed at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin towards the end of their year-long sessions for Version 2.0.

At the time, Garbage were on a three-month concert tour of North America; the remix was recorded in available locker and dressing rooms the band had access to, directly onto Pro Tools.

While there, the band also wrote and recorded two brand new tracks for B-side use, "Get Busy with the Fizzy" and "Soldier Through This" with their touring bass player Daniel Shulman.

[9] All of the press advertising for the release of "Korean Bodega" heavily mentioned Garbage's remix and the fact that Shirley Manson had contributed vocals to the new version.

[11] Both the original and Fun Lovin' Criminals versions of "You Look So Fine" were serviced to radio in the United Kingdom and Ireland at the beginning of May 1999.

[12] The final single from the album would also serve to end the album promotion in the United Kingdom after launching the release of Version 2.0 Special Live Edition, a limited edition repackage with a bonus disc of four tracks recorded live at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, and would support the announcement of Garbage's last UK date on the Version 2.0 tour.

At the start of June, Garbage followed up the chart position of "You Look So Fine" by performing the song on both Top of The Pops and TFI Friday.

[18] "You Look So Fine" ultimately spent four weeks on the UK Singles Chart, leaving the top seventy-five at the end of June.

[31] With a concept for the video to visually look like a "mixture of a piece by Ingmar Bergman and a Samurai warrior movie",[29] the director created a rock pool and white sand dune landscape dominated by a large pair of eyes in the background sky.

While she tends to him, the male members of Garbage are seen lurking in silhouette in the background, while she sees her own reflection acting independently of her at the man's other side.

After a while, the man regains consciousness as the sky changes to pink and the image onscreen changes to soft focus, before fading out as Manson sings the final lyrics.

Manson later refused clearance for the sample and the song's commercial release was canceled and withdrawn after remixes by Inner City, Problem Kids and Desyn Masiello & Leon Roberts had been circulated promotionally.
