is traditionally a very quiet time for single releases. Also predecessor "Sight for Sore Eyes" had remained in the airplay top 20 three months after entering. In the three weeks prior to airplay the single entered the chart at No. 195, scaling to number 35 and then moving to number 19. Only after physical release did the single enter the Airplay top 10 and peak at number five.

The band had done all this during the promotion of "Sight for Sore Eyes" in the autumn of 1994.

Music video The accompanying music video for "Open Your Heart" was filmed over two days: 25/26 November 1994, before the Bizarre Fruit tour kicked off and was the most expensive video done to that point. Produced by Matthew Amos, this more adventurous offering showed the band in an elevator moving between floors and watching clubbers come in and out of the sliding doors exiting onto
