Closing Kate’s first album of 2011, “Rubberband Girl” is a song originally released as the lead single for the 1993 album The Red Shoes and featured in the film The Line, The Cross and the Curve of the same year. It was later rereleased as the eleventh track from Director’s Cut. Similar to previous tracks “This Woman’s Work” and “Moments of Pleasure”, it was completely rerecorded as opposed to simply being remixed.

Actually finishing seven seconds short of its preceding version, many of the original lyrics, like the original musicians' performances, are left disregarded as the song is reinvented in a lower key. This was to compensate for the difficulties presented by Kate’s natural voice deepening and allowed her to sing the songs as if they were newly written.

The track has brought up almost as much controversy as “This Woman’s Work”, with people comparing the new vocal to Kate singing “with a clothes pin on her nose” and labelling the mix as “muddy” due to its slight concealing of the vocal.
