In the United States, "Move in My Direction" was not promoted as a single until after the number two dance club success of follow-up single "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)". In August 2006, "Move in My Direction" entered the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, more than a year after its initial UK release.

Music video

The music video features Dallin and Woodward dressed up in fancy dresses while wandering listlessly by a busy road and sitting on a couch in an abandoned urban lot. Their shots are intercut with scenes of dancers performing dances ranging from tango to ballroom to breakdancing. The music video was directed by Phil Griffin.
