Released as a single in late 1988, the song peaked at No. 9 in the United States in February 1989 and No. 5 in the Hot Dance Club Play chart. "Walking Away" is the second single from the band's eponymous album. "Walking Away" reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 15 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
