It was the first single released from the group's greatest hits compilation 'Recurring Dream' in the United Kingdom, and the third and final release in Australia.Bailey, Marck; [http://www.etext.org/lists/house/ch-discography.html Comprehensive discography] of Crowded House including track listings for all albums and singles. Released 28 March 1995. Retrieved 4 July 2007. It was a top-20 hit in New Zealand and the UK, peaking at number 17 and number 12, respectively; in the UK, it became their second-highest peak alongside "Locked Out" (their highest peak being "Weather with You" at number seven). In Australia, "Instinct" peaked at number 90 on the ARIA Singles Chart in March 1997, spending two non-consecutive weeks in the top 100.
The band members reportedly hated the music video for the song which featured two female aliens, and a living golden statue, thus it was omitted from the compilation DVD 'Dreaming: The Videos'.
