British singer-songwriter Beverley Knight covered "Round and Around" and released it as the fourth single release from her seventh studio album, Soul UK, a tribute to UK soul artists. It was released in the UK on 12 February 2012.

The single version of "Round and Around" was remixed and produced by 5am. The B-side is a remix of Knight's cover of Freeez's "Southern Freeez", the original of which also appears on Soul UK. DJ Munro (who collaborated with Knight on previous songs such as "Salvador" from Affirmation and "Breakout" and "In Your Shoes" from 100%) contributed remixes of both "Round and Around" and the aforementioned "Southern Freeez" remix for the single release.

Knight said of "Round and Around": "Jaki Graham is from my hometown. I once got her autograph in Wolverhampton's department store! Whenever I saw or heard her, I felt so proud. I followed every move she made in her career and thought to myself if she can make it happen, so can I. This song was so ripe for a new version to give it a classic sound." She also spoke of the B-side, "Southern Freeez", by saying: "I have loved this since hearing it as a child. I always thought it sounded so sophisticated, with its uplifting chords. It's a summer drive with the top down, fabulous song."
