Beauty from Pain 1.1

Beauty From Pain was reissued in July 2006 as Beauty From Pain 1.1, marking Superchick's mainstream debut with Columbia Records. The track order was slightly rearranged, and "Anthem" and "We Live" were replaced with remixed versions. "Stories" was removed from the tracklist, while the remix of "One Girl Revolution" from Regeneration and a new song, "Stand in the Rain", were added. ^[6]

The remixed version of "We Live" was released as the album's lead single, and a music video was recorded. The song was on the Billboard Christian Songs chart for 20 weeks, peaking at No. 6. ^[7]

"Stand in the Rain" was the album's final single. It reached No. 1 on the R&R Christian Hit Radio (CHR) chart for 9 weeks starting in October 2006. It was the 18th most played song on CHR radio stations in 2007. ^[8]
