'"UR"' and '"A Tear in the Open"' are two electronic music tracks which appeared on Tisto's second studio album in 2004, entitled 'Just Be'. Unlike Tiesto's other album from 2004, 'Parade of the Athletes', Just Be featured only unmixed tracks.

Tom Holkenborg, also known as Junkie XL, remixed the track "UR", The song originally features Matt Hales from Aqualung who wrote and sang the lyrics in the track and was later featured in Tisto's 'In Search of Sunrise 4: Latin America' compilation.

The B-side from "UR" is "A Tear in the Open", which was remixed by Leama & Moor and was later included along the remix of "UR" in Just Be: Remixed which features a variety of remixes from tracks of the album, the remix album was officially released in 2006 after the remixes were compiled.

"A Tear In The Open" is originally a Gaelic folk song called Ailein duinn, first featured as a film score in the movie Rob Roy and afterwards as the well known interpretation by Scottish folk band Capercaillie. On this track the vocals were sampled as a courtesy of Spectrasonics' 'Vocal Planet'. Many more other artists sampled from the same music library to compose their own version of the folk song.

The title of the 12" vinyl can be read as "UR a Tear in the Open" and stands alone as a simple sentence. The album cover for the single was expected as an alternative cover of the album Just Be, the album itself had various covers, but some were later used on singles; Such is the case of this vinyl.
