"Million Miles Away" is the fifth track on Conspiracy of One, the Offspring's sixth studio album from 2000, a Dexter Holland song top to bottom, words and music, with Brendan O'Brien producing. It reached American radio in March 2001 and got a European single release that June, with the band's take on AC/DC's "Sin City" from Powerage on the flip.
It got a push as music in the trailer for the film Orange County, yet the band left it off both their Greatest Hits and their video collection in 2005, as if they'd already moved on. The "Sin City" cover later resurfaced on the Japan-only 2010 compilation Happy Hour!.
