The song was produced by Mute 8 and received a mixed reception from music critics.[citation needed] It was released as the first single on 25 July 2005 and reached number 14 in the United Kingdom, becoming the duo's first top-40 hit in 12 years.
In the United States, "Move in My Direction" was not promoted as a single until after the number two dance club success of follow-up single "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)". In August 2006, "Move in My Direction" entered the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, more than a year after its initial UK release.
