The following single to If I only knew was I wanna get back with you, a ballad which featured Tori Amos's vocals on the chorus, although it was generally described as a 'duet'. In the same month that The lead and how to swing it was released, Tori's current album Under The Pink was certified platinum, and a joint appearance of Tori and Tom could only have benefited him. However the pair were never seen together, either in Tom's promotional video for the duet, or performing live on stage. Without a visual union of this strength, the single completely failed to chart. Although Tom missed out on capitalising on Tori's success and standing he now became quite vocal about another female pop star with whom he would have liked to share a microphone. Apparently his admiration for Madonna was reciprocated.
