Release and reception edit

In the United Kingdom, Moksha Recordings released "Catch" as a double A-side with "Demonstrate", which would become the opening track of Resist.[1] Issued on 6 November 2000 across four formats, the single stalled at number 86 on the UK Singles Chart.[2][3] Much like "Hide U", "Catch" was a success in Belgium and the Netherlands upon its initial release, reaching number five on Flanders' Ultratop chart and number 16 on the Dutch Top 40.[4][5]

In 2001, "Hide U" was re-released in the United Kingdom via Arista Records and reached a new peak of number six, which prompted a solo re-release of "Catch" on 10 December 2001.[3][6] This time, the song reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, staying in the top 100 for eight weeks.[3] In 2002, the song experienced chart success in Europe and Australia, entering the top 40 in Australia, Finland, and Germany.[7][8][9] In Ireland, the single peaked at number 44, while in Sweden, it reached number 52.[10][11]
