This UK release is a "Radio Edit" (3:21) of "Nothing Is Keeping You Here" remixed by Steve Osbourne, and was available for download from iTunes, but is not available in the shops. The download includes the "Radio Edit" and "Album Version". The single was released in Germany on 20 November 2009 and features a different "Single Edit" (3:04) remixed by Tom Costey in addition to the radio edit which is listed as "Steve Osborne Remix".

The UK radio edit re-arranges much of the track's structure, moving the third verse to the beginning and mixing it within parts of the first verse. Also, the final chorus becomes the first chorus. The European radio edit does not re-arrange the song but remixes it heavily.
