After releasing the'Hooligan' single in 1999, Embrace followed this with their second album 'Drawn From Memory' in March 2000, which reached number 8 in the UK Albums Chart. Although the album was supported by a tour with the then-fledgling Coldplay, its sales were relatively low, although critical reception was good, with NME in particular praising the album. They covered Bob Dorough's '3 Is A Magic Number' on the B-side of 'I Wouldn't Wanna Happen To You', and they also released two other Christmas cover versions of the traditional song 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire' and Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas'. Three more singles were released from the album in 2000, and as before the b-sides of 'I Wouldn't Wanna Happen To You', 'You're Not Alone', and 'Save Me' were exclusive to the those releases, and so here they all are for a non-album collection from 1999 and 2000.
