While the tracks from The It Girl were being demoed, several tracks had working titles based on characters from Reservoir Dogs: Nice Guy Eddie is the only one that kept that name.[3] A segment of the song was used by BBC Wales for the intro and outro music for their coverage of the FAW Invitational Cup in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
