"Down So Long" was the second single taken from Jewel's second album, Spirit. This was the second single that Jewel had not re-recorded vocals for its single release. The guitar in the song was slightly altered creating a stronger sound. A commercial single was not released within the US, but was outside of the US. The single is credited as the 'radio edit' or sometimes the 'radio remix'.

The single peaked at a relatively disappointing #59 on the Billboard hot 100 chart, it also peaked at #10 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart, #21 on Billboard's Top 40 chart and #5 on the ARC Weekly Top 40. It also charted in the UK and New Zealand, reaching the top 40 and the top 20 respectively.
