The single was made available in six formats: two-track CD, CD maxi, 12-inch vinyl, and three digital bundles, each with a different track listing.[1] Presented are new tracks "After the Event", "The Former Enfant Terrible" and "Up and Down", which do not appear on Yes. There are also new mixes of album track "Did You See Me Coming?" by Pet Shop Boys and Unicorn Kid, and "The Way It Used to Be" mixed by Richard X. The Brit Awards medley, which was originally performed in February, is also released in one of the digital bundles.[2]

The Possibly More Mix features significant extra lyrics inspired by common descriptions found in lonely hearts/singles adverts, such as "attractive, single, blue eyed, smart".
