"Disappointed" was Electronic's fourth single, out on Parlophone on 22 June 1992, and like their first, "Getting Away with It", it brings in Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys alongside founders Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr, with Sumner producing. It landed just after Factory Records went under, yet the single still carried a Factory catalogue number, FAC 348, and the label's logo stayed on the artwork.
Europe took to it, sending it into the top 20 in Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden and the UK, and in America it made the top 10 on three separate Billboard charts. That July it turned up on the soundtrack of Cool World, the live-action and animation mystery hybrid, and the US single made sure to advertise the tie-in.
