Confusingly an email was sent to subscribed fans on the 5th of September, in which the record label Trangressive stated that the song "Breathe" (a Pink Floyd cover) was also available with the single. However it wasn't stated if it was a 7" single B-side or a download B-side and so far the song hasn't appeared on either version of the single.fact|date=October 2007

Music Video

The music video for Turn on Me features images of an old woman suntanning, a man operating a crane, a dog in the woman's garden, a man in a speedo fishing something out of a pool, a piano, a bee, and some jello or as its also known, jelly. It begins with rather baffling close-up shots than pans out to show the mayhem caused by the bee. At the end, the piano (which was suspended by the crane) is dropped on to the dog by accident.
