Despite not having an official single release, one of the single's B-sides, "Wanting Out", was released to digital media outlets in 2003 and charted on the Billboard Hot Digital Tracks chart. However, since digital downloads were not being tallied for the Billboard Hot 100 at the time, the song did not appear on the latter chart.
