Following the release of the preceding three singles from Forever Your Girl which all topped the Billboard Hot 100, the track was re-released on September 15, 1989, in its original version.

"[6] Betty Hollars and John Martinucci of the Gavin Report responded favorably, calling it "one of the finer follow-ups" to "Knocked Out".

[3] Their colleague Dave Sholin reviewed the 1989 reissue saying, "While not "new" in a handful of markets, the vast majority of stations didn't air it the first time around.

The little chart success it got was cut early when San Francisco urban radio station KMEL began playing "Straight Up" instead,[4] which led Virgin Records to officially release the track as a single and focused promotion efforts on it.

It consisted of Abdul dancing and singing with male dancers at a photo shoot, while expensive product shots were flashed in and out.

It also featured Abdul's first tap dancing sequence, which she would use again in her videos for "Straight Up", "Opposites Attract", and "Forever Your Girl".
