She performed the track on MTV's Most Wanted, where she performed also "Human Behaviour", and on The Grind. On a rare lip-synch performance, she sang the song on the Italian show Festivalbar. She also performed the song live, dressed in a big, red gown at the 1994 MTV Europe Music Awards, where she received two nominations. The song was part of her MTV Unplugged set list, where it received a different arrangement, accompanied by Indian Instruments and an harpsichord. Its performance was released on Debut Live, which was included in Live Box.

Notably, its performance during the Post Tour at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London was released on her VHS/DVD release Live at Shepherds Bush Empire, with the same performance released on Post Live, where it was given a "much more minimal treatment" accompanied by Leila Arab "gently hyperkinetic jungle beats".
