"Special Ones" was the first single George ever released, issued on Festival in June 2001, though the Australian alternative rock group was hardly starting from scratch: three EPs had already come out ahead of it. It also served as the opening shot from their debut album, Polyserena, which didn't arrive until 2002.
The song made an impression in a hurry. At the 2001 ARIA Music Awards it was up for Breakthrough Artist – Single, only to lose out to The Avalanches' "Frontier Psychiatrist". "Run" was the single that came after it.
