==Release==
Rather than the typical [[Maxi single|maxi CD]] and [[DVD]] configuration for the single, "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" was initially released as three separate 7" singles. Each 7" contained a different mix of the single as an A-side. On the B-side, each 7" contained a brand new [[remix]] of a classic New Order single. Many{{who?|date=November 2015}} saw this as a bridging of the ''Waiting for the Sirens' Call'' album and the then-forthcoming ''[[Singles (New Order album)|Singles]]'' compilation. A CD single for "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" followed the three 7" singles, and was released on October 3, 2005. The two-track CD featured full-length remixes of the song.

The song was added to [[BBC Radio 2]]'s A-List and was also playlisted by [[Xfm London]]. It debuted at #21 on the [[UK Singles Chart]], one position lower than New Order's previous single, "[[Jetstream (song)|Jetstream]]".
