"Milk" was the fifth and last single Garbage lifted from their self-titled 1995 debut, and by 1996 it had been remade: the band, who wrote and produced the song themselves, called in trip hop's Tricky to add his voice to a fresh recording. Billed as the Wicked Mix, that version got its coming-out at the 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards, where the live performance drew raves and sent the single into the UK chart at number 10. A Siren mix without Tricky charted in Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
America was another story. "Milk" went out there alongside the album cut "Supervixen", timed to ride the momentum of "Stupid Girl" while Garbage opened arenas for the Smashing Pumpkins, but alternative radio threw its weight behind "#1 Crush", the band's soundtrack song, and let both slip past.
