| OTHER NOTES |
| Although released in most areas as
the first 'traditional' single from Zooropa,
Stay was actually the third single released from the album,
following Numb and Lemon.
Stay would reappear throughout the years on other material
released by U2. In 1993, an alternate version of the track was
featured on the Faraway So Close soundtrack. A remix, titled the
Underdog Remix appeared on the fan club only compilation CD, Melon,
in 1995. In 2002 the track was featured on Craig Armstrong's
album, As if to Nothing, and it featured vocals rerecorded by
Bono in the summer of 2001.
The single actually contained two titles on
the sinle for many releases making it a double A-Side with
"I've Got You Under My Skin". The track was recorded
as a duet by Bono and Frank Sinatra and was released at the same
time as Stay. Both were climbing the charts at Christmas
of 1993. The duet between Bono and Frank Sinatra was released on
Sinatra's Duets album.
As a live song, Stay first appeared on the
Zooropa leg of the ZOO TV tour in 1993. It was only played
in Europe, and did not appear in 1997's Popmart tour. In 2001,
Stay had the distinction of being the only song from the Zooropa
album played live in North America during a tour. It was
recorded live on May 25, 2001 and released as a b-side to the
European / Australian Walk
On single, and the Canadian Stuck
in a Moment single.
