There is a "For Promotional Use Only" CD, sometimes referred to as a DJ single that includes a 10-second "CALLOUT" in addition to the song itself. It is in a trifold digipack that displays the lyrics and credits.[2]
The song also appears in:

  • Fefe Dobson SUNDAY LOVE ALBUM SAMPLER[3]
  • Fefe Dobson SUNDAY LOVE IN STORE ALBUM SAMPLER[4]

The album was pushed back a number of times before its eventual cancellation.

"Don't Let It Go to Your Head" is covered by Lilyjets, a Norwegian girl group, as a single[5] from their debut album 3rd Floor (2006).[6] They also produced an official music video. The song was also covered by Jordin Sparks on her second album Battlefield (2009).[7][8] Shortly after Sparks' album was released Dobson said, "Jordin Sparks just did [that song], which was on Sunday Love, which was very cool. She did kind of, like, a more R&B version of it, which I think is really nice, actually. It was really cool that she didn't try and do a rock version of it, and she did what she's more comfortable with, which I thought was awesome."[9]
