O single “Gone Till November” foi lançado em 25 de novembro de 1997 e chegou ao número três na UK Singles Chart, a maior colocação solo de Wyclef Jean no Reino Unido.
Nos Estados Unidos o single atingiu o sétimo lugar na Billboard Hot 100, enquanto na Canadá e na Nova Zelândia alcançou o quarto.
A versão do álbum possui um baixo diferente e várias vozes de fundo distintas da versão pop que ficou mais conhecida por seu rádio e pelo videoclipe.
A versão pop não aparece no álbum “The Carnival”; apenas a versão do álbum original, junto com um remix distinto, está incluída na gravação.
O lançamento foi distribuído pelas gravadoras Columbia e Ruffhouse, refletindo a colaboração internacional do artista haitiano.
