The single, a cover version of the post-punk classic by The Passions, was produced by Pet Shop Boys who also did a full length Symphonic mix. Other remixes will be available by Gui Boratto, Juergen Paape and Mark Reeder.

The single will be available through iTunes on 22 October and through other digital outlets on 229 October. CD release will be on 20 October and the track will also be available on 7" and 12" vinyl.

Previous to the above recordings, she first worked with Pet Shop Boys in 1997 when she created the visuals and staging for their live show Somewhere at the Savoy Theatre in London.
