Two versions were released on CD: one with "Make It Alright" and "So Swell", and the other with "Stand" and a live version of "The Shining". The song's music video was directed by Gordon Main, Rob Leggatt, and Simon Earith. On 19 June, Dotmusic revealed the album's artwork, which is a computer-generated image that merged all of the members' faces. Pleased to Meet You was released on 2 July 2001 through Mercury Records.
