Notes

  • The album's title, Revolution in Me, is said to relate to Siobhán Donaghy's departure from Sugababes.
  • "Nothing But Song" was released as a promotional single on vinyl under the name of "Shanghai Nobody", an anagram of "Siobhán Donaghy".
  • As the booklet includes eight additional front covers, there is no official album cover, as anyone can change the cover.
  • Interviewed on BBC Three's Liquid News show around the time of the release of "Twist of Fate", Siobhan mentioned the turkeys in the video, and said that they were more relevant to her upcoming Christmas single, "Iodine". However, no further single was released.
