Mute Records released it in February 1996 as a single in selected European countries, including Germany and Czech Republic. It was not released in the UK or the US. In its album form, the song is an extended, ten-plus minutes mid-tempo synth ballad with ambient elements and a free-form vocal performance by American singer Diamanda Galas, during the song's breakdown. Bell's lead vocals were accentuated by the London Community Gospel Choir, who sang background. Rock Me Gently was significantly altered for its single release, adding a radio-friendly drum track to the mix and editing out most of the Galas interlude. An extended version of this mix was included on the CD single, retaining the Galas section while keeping the new instrumentation.
