The single debuted on the UK Singles Chart in June 1981 — two months after the chart run of the massive hit "Vienna" — and peaked at no. 8 in the same month, giving Ultravox their second of three Top Ten hits.[3]
The B-sides are two original instrumentals. "Keep Torque-ing" is listed on the Rare, Vol. 1 compilation as "Keep Talking"; it is generally accepted that the latter was the correct name for the track. This track was a cassette recording during rehearsals.[4]
