Removed text
While writing the song, Lewis and Orbit were in Los Angeles, California 1999, while the remaining All Saints members Melanie Blatt and sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton were shooting in the UK for their movie Honest, which was directed by former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart. Honest is a black comedy set in Swinging London in the late 1960s, in which the singers playing three street-wise, saucy sisters who head "up West" to pursue a life of crime. The film also became notable for the topless scene with both Natalie and Nicole. The film ultimately received scathing reviews from movie critics, with one critic saying "It is the worst kind of rubbish, the kind that makes you angry you have wasted 105 minutes of your life." It was also poor at the box office, but was eventually screened at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
 * From Background—off-topic text per WP:COATRACK:

The song was described saying "Opening with producer William Orbit's faraway beeps and summery guitar which create a blistering waterfront atmosphere." The song has also been a subject for being a symbol to water. It was said; "In the splendid 'Pure Shores', self-realization is compared to emerging from water. The places Lewis visited before were harsh and grueling (desert), messy and dirty (the moor), and unwelcoming and manipulative (the door.) The ocean is inviting and individual in its beauty."

Digital release in 1999?
There were no digital download releases in 1999. All other sources say this single was released in March 2000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aussiemiguel (talk • contribs) 12:53, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Recorded key
The Composition section states that the song is in D major, and gives the chord progression in that key. Listening to the song, it is clear that it is in fact in Db major, not D. The misconception stems from the sheet music given as a source, which is in fact a simplified "easy piano" version. I'd delete it, but I haven't anything to replace it with, so it'd just get flagged as vandalism. 2A00:23C7:7A82:F701:2516:F235:ECEF:25E1 (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * One fix is to say that the D major key comes from the sheet music, and remove it from the recorded version. Binksternet (talk) 19:15, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
