However, the band's covers of singles "Can't Stand Losing You" and " The Power of Love"—originally released by The Police and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, respectively—are included. Feeder's cover of "The Power of Love" had been featured on the NME/ War Child ''1 Love'' compilation of covers of former UK number 1 singles.
