[edit] Song information

It was released as the fourth single from Unison in Canada (May 1991), and third in the rest of the world (June 1991 in United States; September 2, 1991 in Australia, Japan, and Europe). In United Kingdom it was the second commercial single, because "(If There Was) Any Other Way" was issued as a promotional release only.

B-side included "Unison," which was released as a single in Canada and Japan only.
