"'Ashes'" is the second single from English rock band Embrace's fourth studio album, 'Out of Nothing'. This release was publicised by a fan campaign called G.A.T.N.O (Get Ashes to Number One). The song reached number 11. "Ashes" was released to American radio on 1 March 2005. The B-side, "Flaming Red Hair", started life as a cover version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Another B-side, "How Come", a cover of the D12 song of the same name, was originally performed on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 1 show.
