The song
Like the previous single, The Hand That Feeds, Only was released as a GarageBand multitrack file, as well as for DigiDesign Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and Sony ACID Pro, and a fan-remix community page was set up on MySpace[1] In late 2007, a few fan remixes of Only were included on the open source remix album The Limitless Potential.
The single
Again, like The Hand That Feeds, Only was only widely-released in Europe. European releases include a CD, a DVD, and a 9" vinyl. The only United States release is a vinyl format—a remix record with mixes from Richard X and El-P.

Music video
The music video for Only, directed by David Fincher and relying almost entirely on CGI created by Digital Domain,[2] shows various objects in an executive's office coming to life with the propulsion of the song and was released on July 12 2005 at NIN.com.[3] The main focus is Trent Reznor's face appearing on the novelty Pin Art that sits on the desk. The only non-CGI components of the video are a person's hand (Fincher's, who owns the PowerBook in the video) and a bowl of green apples, which caused significant difficulty to the band trying to knock them down without destroying the shoot.
