The fourth single from their second album, 1998's 'Version 2.0'. Pt.2 is backed with two previously unreleased non-album tracks, 'Tornado' and 'Special' (Rickidy Raw R+B Mix). Slimline jewel case. 1999 Mushroom Records release. Album Description
When I Grow Up by Garbage is lovely and danceable import. The single is fantastic and the unreleased track, Tornado is pure techno. I love, love, love this band! I highly recommend it to hard-core Garbage fans.

I just wanna say that I absolutely LOVE Garbage, and I adore both of their albums.
However, this single was just totally disappointing. When I Grow Up is a great song, but it's the only great song on the single. "Tornado" is seriously the worst Garbage song I have ever heard. I didn't think it was possible to write a bad Garbage song. The "Special" remix didn't do anything for me either, it bored me after a while.
Only get this single if you collect Garbage stuff, because unless you are a MEGA fan, it's just not worth it, and you're better off buying the "Special" single so that you can hear a REAL Garbage B-Side. April 29, 2001
Don't get me wrong, I love Garbage, I absolutely worship them.
However, this single was pretty bad. When I Grow Up is a CLASSIC song, and I love it. "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" is so boring. I seriously can't even stand to listen to it, I almost go to sleep. The remix of "When I Grow Up" is bearable, but also nothing too great.
At least this one is better than the other 'When I Grow Up' single. Seriously, only buy this single if you are a MEGA Garbage fan, other wise it's not really worth it. Buy "Special" instead, it's got a wicked B-Side. April 29, 2001
This Song Is Really The Best Song Ever Written By Garbage. It Was Featured In The Movie Big Daddy And It Is Just A Totally Cool Song. It Is Like A Mix Of 80's And 90's Music Put Together To Be Just Awesome. Highly Recommended GREAT!

I bought this cd because I needed the Rickidy Raw remix of Special. I already have Special on Version 2.0 and Tornado on a B-Sides cd I've got. It's worth the money for that one song. It sounds so good when it's slow like that. And the way that they made it sound like there are two Shirley's singing is amazing. I know that some other people who reviewed this single said they didn't care for Tornado. I personally like it. It's very fast and fun. It may not be classic Garbage but it's still good. My advice would be to buy this single for the remix of Special, even if you're not a fan of Tornadoor When I Grow Up, which is also a wonderful song.
