The new album showed Appleby in a more prominent, soulful role, although the tongue-in-cheek humour of Mel & Kim still remained.

Released on 22 October 1990 by Parlophone, the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in November 1990 and entered the top 40 throughout Europe.

Pan-European magazine Music & Media declared the song as a "hit-bound record with a strong Motown (Supremes) feel.

"[5] Tom Doyle from Smash Hits wrote that the song is "something of a bouncy singalong SAW-type affair", and complimented Appleby's voice as "consistently strong and tuneful".

[6] A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Liam Kan.[7] It received heavy rotation on MTV Europe.
