Following the success of the initial 7″ single version of "Nova Heart" (#40 Canada), an extended 12″ single was subsequently released. The B-side, "Symmetry," which did not appear on the Arias & Symphonies album, was a dance single, and while it did not get much airplay, it got significant play in clubs.

Nova Heart was re-released as a 30th Anniversary Edition CD on March 26, 2012. In addition to the "Single version" and the 12 inch Extended Mix of the song, the CD also has 2 new remixes made by the band itself, a demo made in 1981 and a "Live" version of the song recorded at Barrymore's club in Ottawa, Ontario in 1982. This is a limited edition CD.

Nova Heart was covered by Canadian Electro-goth band Johnny Hollow.

The album cover photos were taken at the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario by Peter Noble.
