Despite being recorded during the sessions for its parent album, the B-side "Too Much" wasn't included on it. The song is somewhat a rarity; back in the day being only available on the original US cassette single and Australian 7" vinyl. Later on, the song has been re-released on Squier's website as a download-only track. When buying the whole Hear & Now album, the song is automatically included as a bonus track.[3]
