It is the second single released for their second full-length album Walking With Strangers. This is also the fourth song to have a music video.
As well as including the title track, the EP includes remixes of "Red Stars", "Weekend", and "Falling Down" from the album Walking with Strangers. There are also two new songs: "I Think We're Alone Now", originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells but popularized by Tiffany in the late 1980s, and "Shiver". In addition, the EP includes the ambient track "Nowhere" which is a re-recording of "The Night Loop" (which was the background music to the band's website). Lastly the EP contains the music video for "Looking Glass" in QuickTime format.
