The single was released on 11 November 2008. "Away" was originally intended to be on Sean Garrett's debut solo album "Turbo 919", but the decision was made to include it on Iglesias' album instead. The song debuted on the UK Singles Chart, at number 132 on the week of the physical single release.

Music video

The video was directed by Anthony Mandler. The video premiered on TRL on 12 November 2008. The video features a cameo by Sean Garrett.
