The single version was remixed by Julian Mendelsohn with a drum-track by David Palmer and a string-arrangement by Anne Dudley after the release of the album. The "Pacific Mix" is similar to the single remix but does not feature the string arrangement. The "Atlantic Mix" from the 12 inch single A-side is a mostly instrumental "dub" remix.
