"Enough to Get Away" is the first single from Joseph Arthur's 2006 album Nuclear Daydream. In the US, the album was released on September 19, 2006. In the UK, both Nuclear Daydream and the follow-up album Let's Just Be were released on September 3, 2007. The AA-side "Diamond Ring" is the album version, taken from Let's Just Be. The album version of "Enough to Get Away" also appeared as a B-side to Joseph's 2007 single "Honey and the Moon." The 7" single is pressed on light cream-colored vinyl and is limited edition numbered.

Joseph discussed "Enough to Get Away" in an interview with Newsday:[1]

The first single, "Enough to Get Away," has a sunny sound that masks a darker theme. "I think it's like an attack on the American Dream," said Arthur. "It sounds happy, but there is no 'enough to get away.' When you're writing, you never really know what you're talking about and then you interpret it later. I could never try to write something like that. It just comes out and it's like, 'Whoa, what's this?'"
