The single's B-side, "That's All Folks", was originally intended for the International Velvet album and had appeared on promo copies around the time of "I Am the Mob", but it was later replaced by "My Selfish Gene" as the album's closer. The song is a scathing attack on Catatonia's American label, Warner, written in 1997 when the band feared that they were to be dropped by the label or were to split up.
