Two versions of the single were released, each with entirely different B-sides. Disc 1 notably contains a live cover of Britpop group Blur's song, "End of a Century".

A remix of "This Summer" was released in August 1996, charting four spots higher than the original song. Despite the relatively low chart position, the song enjoyed extensive radio airplay in the UK, and was regularly rotated on MTV and VH1.
