The B-side was "I Kicked a Boy", which also appeared on the album. The 12" single contained an additional, non-album track, "Don't Tell Your Mother".

The song's lyrical theme is "desire", treated as a general concept rather than being directed towards anything or anyone in particular. And did you know desire's a terrible thing? The worst that I can find Did you know desire's a terrible thing? But I rely on mine. By the song's closing refrain, the song's narrator appears to have come to terms with, if not necessarily resolved, the dichotomy: And It's my love, And it's my life And though I can't be sure if I want any more It will come to me later. The single was voted number one in John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1989 and reached #45 in the UK charts in February of that year.
