Note

Alternate versions of the CD include the track "(Walking On) Thin Ice" in place of "Push It". "(Walking On) Thin Ice" was also used as a b-side for the second single release "(You Were) Never Alone", which also included an "edited version" of the album track that opens with a differently mixed intro. "Why Not?" was the first single from the album and also edited for the single release.
