The song was released as the first single from the album and returned Eurythmics to the UK singles chart for the first time in nearly a decade, peaking at number eleven. "I Saved the World Today" was not released as a single in the United States. It peaked within the top ten in several countries, like Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Poland.

The song was briefly played as background music for an engagement party scene in season two, episode 12 of The Sopranos, "The Knight in White Satin Armor", and then used as background for the closing scene and credits of that same episode. It was also used in the diner scene and over the closing credits of Norwegian film Lønsj.
