The original recording was not included on the band's debut album, Republica - two other versions of the song, the U.S. mix[1] and the original mix, were included.
This version was later featured on a greatest hits collection, Ready to Go: The Best Of.
The single originally reached #43 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1996. It was re-released in February 1997, whereupon it reached #13. Tomcraft released another version of the song in 2007. Yet another version of the song was released on 7 June 2010, and reached #1 on the UK Upfront Club chart.
Ready to Go (UK/Europe)
In this video, lead singer Saffron is jumping on the roof of a building. The shots took place somewhere in East London. This video is very sunny and upbeat. It is said that it shows the hidden beauty of East London. The video also features lead singer Saffron playing the video game Virtua Fighter.

Ready to Go (North America)
This video is very different from the original British one. Saffron is shown jumping on a green field near a road, then she is dancing and doing humorous mimics in front of the camera. Some parts of the video are artificially colourised.
LYRICS
You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away,
He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day,
Your t'shirt, dish dirt,
Always love the one you hurt
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
Big mouth, big mouth, drop out, drop out
You get what you deserve
You're stange, insane, one thing you can never change
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out,
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
Abused, confused, always love the one that
hurt ya hurt ya hurt ya
It's a crack, baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go...
