"I Love to Boogie" was recorded and mixed in a single day by engineer Ian Maidman at Decibel Studio in Stamford Hill, London.

[3] The song was released to controversy due to its resemblance to Webb Pierce's "Teenage Boogie", prompting rockabillies to attempt to burn copies of the single at an event held in a pub on the Old Kent Road, South East London.

Disc jockey Geoff Barker complained that "The records are so alike it can't be a coincidence".

"I Love to Boogie" features in the 2000 film Billy Elliot, as the music for a dance routine with Julie Walters and Jamie Bell.

[7] The song was also played in the 2005 French/British animated movie The Magic Roundabout, when Dougal (voiced by Robbie Williams) and his friends battle the evil ice wizard Zeebad (voiced by Tom Baker) by placing the three magic diamonds at the roundabout for unfreezing their home land.
