It uses a different vocalist for each record owing to his experiences producing the Business Mix of Boy George's "Live My Life" with extra vocals with street rapper MC Cyndee.

Healy then presented it to Boy George, who suggested they use MC Kinky,[4] a white female raggamuffin toaster who had previously featured on his song Kipsy.

[5] It was rejected by every label George went to and eventually he opted to front the money himself,[3] pressing a thousand copies with the intent to get it played in the clubs.

[11] In 1990, Dave Jennings from Melody Maker commented, "The nannies, cowards and puritans at the BBC want to deprive you from this delight; it's been banned from Top of the Pops and given minimal Radio 1 exposure.

"[12] Same year, David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Third release of a track that's been popular in clubs but has, as yet, failed to ignite the public's imagination.

[5] When the song achieved mainstream success, MC Kinky didn't have a manager or an agent, and as such received many calls to her landline requesting that she perform somewhere.

[19] She recalled that she often had to curl her hair in the car and put on reflective clothing inside pub toilets, and that "when the screechy guitar on 'Everything ... ' began, the crowd would roar like a football stadium."
