A versão de If God Will Send His Angels do single é diferente da versão do album Pop. Essa Single Version é a versão que foi utilizada também na trilha sonora do filme "Cidade dos Anjos".
Esta versão é editada e tem um segmento diferente da versão do álbum POP. A letra foi remanejada em certo trecho.
O videoclipe da música tem duas versões: uma versão que mostra apenas a banda, e outra versão que mescla o video original, com imagens do filme.
Um lado B do single é a regravação de Slow Dancing, lado B que o U2 gravou primeiramente para o single de Stay Faraway So Close, de 1993; e em 1997 regravaram ela para esse single, agora com a participação de Willie Nelson.
Outro lado B do single é Two Shots of Happy One Shot of Sad, que Bono escreveu para presentear Frank Sinatra. Em 14 de Dezembro de 1995, Bono e The Edge apareceram via gravação de Londres num tributo na televisão dos EUA pelos 80 anos de Frank Sinatra, e cantaram a canção pela primeira vez.
Outra canção desse single é uma versão acústica de Sunday Bloody Sunday, cantada por The Edge; no concerto Popmart em Sarajevo, de 1997.
