Like their first single " Getting Away with It" it featured Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys as well as founding members Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner. It was released in June 1992 on Parlophone soon after the demise of Factory Records. The single was even assigned the Factory catalogue number FAC 348, and the logo of the label remained on the artwork.
"Disappointed" is a song recorded by American indie rock band Ivy. It was released as the second single from their third studio album, Long Distance (2000).

The track was written by Dominique Durand, Adam Schlesinger, and Andy Chase, while production was handled by the latter two and Peter Nashel.
