A versão de Please do single é diferente da versão encontrada no album Pop.
Essa versão tem um arranjo de cordas de Craig Armstrong.
E como em outros single do Pop, é mais uma música que o U2 retrabalhou e deu um acabamento final melhor.
Curiosidade: a capa do single traz quatro pessoas da história política do eterno conflito Irlanda do Norte X Inglaterra - estilizados à la Pop Art. São eles: Gerry Adams (líder do partido Sinn Fein), no alto à esquerda. David Trimble (do partido moderador), no alto à direita. John Hume (do partido democrático moderador), embaixo, à esquerda, e Ian Paisley (do partido radical), embaixo, à direita.
