The track "NW5" was originally released as a single in Germany (titled "NW5 (I would give you everything)") after appearing in the film "Neues Vom Wixxer". The 2007 version of NW5 is different to the 2008 Lucky Seven Record's version, with the earlier recording having a darker tone. That version also featured guitarist Kevin Burdette instead of original Madness guitarist Chris Foreman who had left the group in mid-2005. Foreman re-joined Madness later in 2007 and can be heard on the 2008 release.

The B-side for the German release was a new recording of "It Must Be Love".

Two promo videos were made for "NW5" and the new "It Must Be Love", starring Suggs, Carl Smyth, Daniel Woodgate, stand-in guitarist Kevin Burdette, and members of the film's cast. The new video for "It Must be Love" featured in the films credits.
