The album was originally scheduled to be released on 28 February 2009 in Australia, but was officially released a week earlier (though many retailers released the album days before the 21st.)
Live on Earth was available with a signed album cover via online pre-order.
The first single from the album, "How to Explain?", was released on the iTunes Store on 13 February 2009. The album also
