It was released in the UK as "10,000 Nights" in anticipation of "This Is Alphabeat", the international version of their debut album.
The band played a live semi-acoustic version of the track in Jo Whiley's Live Lounge on BBC Radio 1, together with a cover version of Sam Sparro's Black and Gold.
An instrumental version of the track was used as background music by the BBC during their daily Beijing 2008 Olympics highlights show.
