"Two Months Off" is the first single by Underworld from the album A Hundred Days Off, originally released in 2002. This track was one of the first songs that they released as a duo. The single peaked on the UK Singles Chart at number 12 as well as number two for three weeks on the US dance chart.
The track contains samples from Don Airey's 1989 album K2.
A short spoken word vocal section can be heard above the track lead-in. The contributing artist for these vocals is Juanita Boxill, whose voice also features in "Little Speaker", track 5 of A Hundred Days Off.
Boxill is the namesake of separate Underworld single Juanita / Kiteless / To Dream of Love.
A stripped down and slightly sonically reworked version of the song's bridge set the backdrop for the lighting of the Olympic cauldron during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
A cover of the song Two Months Off by Techno Masters was featured in Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2, a music video game produced by Konami.
It was also featured in EA SPORTS FIFA Football 2004's soundtrack.
