"Wait" is also the only Wang Chung song to appear on two different non-compilation albums. "Wait" originally appeared on Points on the Curve (1983), but was used again on the To Live and Die in L.A. soundtrack when director William Friedkin liked the song so much, he wanted to incorporate it into his 1985 neo-noir thriller, To Live and Die in L.A. "Wait" appears during the end credits of the film.
