"Disappointed" was the fourth single by the English band Electronic. Like their first single Getting Away With It it featured Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys as well as founding members Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner. It was released in June 1992 on Parlophone soon after the demise of Factory Records. The single was even assigned the Factory catalogue number FAC348, and the logo of the label remained on the artwork.
It was the last Electronic single to be released on all four major formats (7", 12", CD and cassette). The content of the single was more dynamic than its predecessors; it had only one remix of the A-side (by 808 State), an additional treatment of a 1991 album track ("Idiot Country", with Ultimatum), and an earlier mix of "Disappointed". (The A-side of the single is itself a remix since producer Stephen Hague reworked this "original mix" for single release).
Although Electronic would enjoy three more Top 20 singles in the UK, Disappointed was the last major commercial success for the band on an international level, becoming a dance chart hit in America and reaching the Top 20 in Germany as well as #6 in Britain (their highest UK position).
"Disappointed" was featured in the 1992 film Cool World in 1992. Until the release of Get the Message - The Best of Electronic in 2006 the soundtrack album Songs from the Cool World was the only place the song was commercially available.
