Sting adapted the first quatrain of William Blake's Auguries of Innocence for the first four sung lines of "Send Your Love".

Sting's collaboration with Blige, "Whenever I Say Your Name", won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004. The first single "Send Your Love" was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, but it lost to "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake.[8]

In August 2015, Mylène Farmer and Sting duetted on Stolen Car and released it as the lead single from Farmer's tenth studio album, Interstellaires;[9] the track is produced by The Avener.[10]
