Background
KMFDM was preparing to release their ninth studio album 'Xtort'. TVT Records was heavily promoting its release, and used "Power" as the single to help spread awareness of the upcoming album. "Power" was featured on the "Wax Trax! Summer Swindle", a cassette sampler included with 45,000 issues of the July 1996 issue of 'Alternative Press'. Another 50,000 copies of the sampler were handed out at summer college and beach events and given away to radio stations.

"Power" was released as a 12" vinyl pressing of 3000 individually numbered copies on August 15, 1996. The A-side contained the track, while the B-side had an etched KMFDM logo. A CD single was also released containing an edited version of the track.
On August 1, 2009, the single was released as a 7" vinyl pressing of 250 copies. This release included the track "Dogma" as a B-side.
