Vig had created a new version of their song "Bad Boyfriend", which had opened their "Bleed Like Me" album, when he had been updating his home studio the previous year. Keeping to the Garbage formula of incorporating non-musical sounds in their work, Vig used a digital recorder to capture the sound of his baby daughter's swing in motion as a percussive loop. Thinking that the compilation would benefit from the inclusion of a new remix, Vig presented his rework to Manson and Erikson who had been unaware of the new version. Both agreed that "Bad Boyfriend" should be included, but rather than solicit an outside producer, Vig spent a few days finishing the mix. Inversely, Garbage recruited production team Jeremy Wheatley and Brio Tellefario to create a new version of "Bleed Like Me"s track "It's All Over but the Crying"; the band hoped the song would be a possible second single. A rock version of "Version 2.0"s "Push It" was completed by producer Chris Sheldon.
