The District Sleeps Alone Tonight was released July 8, 2003 by The Postal Service under the Sub Pop Records label. The EP included the previously released title track "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" (which opened Give Up), a cover of "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" by The Flaming Lips, and two remixed tracks, one by DJ Downfall titled "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight," and the other was John Tejada's "Such Great Heights".
The title track's eponymous "District" is Washington, D.C., known colloquially as The District by its inhabitants. Gibbard wrote the song after his girlfriend Allisyn Levy moved to Washington, D.C.
This was the third CD released by The Postal Service. The cover artwork was designed by kozyndan.
