陳奕迅出道11年以來第一首英文單曲《Aren’t You Glad》於2008年6月23日在中國國際廣播電台HIT FM887首播。《Aren’t You Glad》由Russell Harris作曲、填詞。歌詞提到女方尋求安穩生活，一心離開生活顛倒的男友。生活沒有因誰而停下，多年之後女生於大城市中多姿多彩地生活，與未婚夫同是專業人士，得到想要的安定。而男生已經是著名編劇，不過對女方當初的離開仍未放下。“離開我的你，真的活得愉快嗎？”
陳奕迅《不想放手》專輯封底
這首歌本來有中文詞，由林夕填詞，但當時Demo寄過來時已經有英文詞，陳奕迅覺得英文詞更能表達那種反諷的意味，所以就還是想不如唱英文，反正他從來沒有擁有過英文歌曲，於是詢問林夕是否介意，林夕說不介意，而陳奕迅也有和林夕說，未來唱現場的時候會唱一次中文。這是陳奕迅第一首英文歌，唱片公司為此還將舉辦《Aren’t You Glad》MV創作大賽，邀請歌迷用手機或DV拍下自己感覺到的“Aren’t You Glad”，真是花盡心思。在專輯封面中，《Aren’t You Glad》畫的是老式的香港地板有很多花，其中一朵飛出來，另一邊就飛出來一個男子。

歌曲歌詞
Aren't you glad you didn't stay with me
Bohemian life and instability
You went off to university
And you took your love away from me
Endless nights lovers friends and fun
Big-City lights your new life had begun
And as the world turns on and on
Love is lost and love is won
Laughed and cried when we were young
You went your own way I survived
And did you ever see everything inside of me
So now you live your life in luxury
Double glazing turbo washing machine
And your fianc is boring as hell
You never laugh you're both professional
You know that film that I'd started to write
It's a box-office smash
And I'm on the next flight to get my award on TV tonight
Looking back I think I've done alright
And as the world turns on and on
Love is lost and love is won
Laughed and cried when we were young
You went your own way I survived
And did you ever see everything inside of me
And as the world turns on and on
Love is lost and love is won
Laughed and cried when we were young
You went your own way I survived
And did you ever see everything inside of me
Oh aren't you glad you didn't stay with me
Oh aren't you glad you didn't stay with me
Oh aren't you glad you didn't stay with me
You didn't want my love
So aren't you glad
Aren't you glad aren't you glad
Aren't you glad aren't you glad
Aren't you glad
