An alternate version of the cover of "Going Underground" can also be heard on the compilation Punk the Clock, Vol. 3.

In an interview on Popworld, Ian Watkins stated that the song was called "4:AM Forever" because 4:AM is the hour in the night that most people die, known as "the witching hour".^[2]
