„Free As A Bird“ war die Vorab-Single zu Anthology 1 und stellt quasi den Auftakt zum Anthology Projekt dar, das aus einer achtteiligen TV-Dokumentation, zwei Singles, drei Doppel-CDs/Tripple LPs und einem Buch bestand. Auch diese Single wurde in diversen Formaten veröffentlicht. Bis auf den Song „Free As A Bird„, war kein anderer der Songs auf der Anthology 1 enthalten. Die Vinyl Single(*) enthielt, im Gegensatz zur CD-Single, nur zwei der vier Songs.
