Background

Ure described Move Me as a more guitar-oriented album than some of the previous releases in his discography. [8] "Beneath A Spielberg Sky" was released as the first single from the album. Ure commented that the song was about "all things in life viewed on a screen like a movie. War, love, past and future." [9]

"The Refugee Song" was inspired by the refugee crisis in Kosovo 1999. Midge said that the song "refers to the whole idea of losing your family for a bit, not knowing whether they are alive or dead?"[ citation needed ] "The Refugee Song" was re-recorded 2015 and was included as a bonus track on the "Breathe Again Live and Extended" album.

Move Me was re-released on 16 October 2006 by the German record label Hypertension, as "Move Me+" with a bonus CD featuring two instrumental tracks called "Higher" and "Fall", plus live tracks recorded in Germany 2000, radio edits and acoustic versions. [10]
