The second B-side, "Everywhere Is All Around", the lyrics were actually written by Tim Wheeler's friend, Martin Carr of The Boo Radleys, although Tim contributed the music and arrangement.

The (CD only) B-side "Does Your Mother Know" is a cover of the ABBA track. At the time, it was quite surprising for a band such as Ash to cover a "Europop" song, but Wheeler has often claimed ABBA to be one of his influences. Does Your Mother Know was a 1979 song by the Swedish pop group ABBA, and was the second single to be released from their album Voulez-Vous. ...

The video for the track was directed by Julian Barton, and consists of Ash playing in a fairground. Eventually, the fairground is set alight, before being doused with rain. The video was banned from Top of the Pops due to the extremely passionate kiss by Mark Hamilton in the video, which was occassionally cut to while Tim was singing.
