Give More Love also has four bonus tracks: Back Off Boogaloo, You Can't Fight Lightning, Photograph and Don't Pass Me By. This version of Back Off Booglaloo is based on the original recording Ringo made when he wrote the song. He recently discovered the tape when he moved houses. The other three bonus tracks are collaborations based on performances from Starr's 2016 Peace & Love Birthday event. Alberta Cross performed You Can't Fight Lightning and Vandaveer performed Photograph and Don't Pass Me By.
