It was released in 1994, as the lead single from their first studio album, Pride (1995),[1] and is written and produced by Jonas Berggren from Ace of Base.
The song was a top 10 hit in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Israel, Malaysia,[2] Norway and on the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart.
John Bush from AllMusic said the group "pursue the same bubblegum dance-pop route" as Ace of Base on the song.
[4] He wrote that the "chirpy Swedish female duo makes an excellent first impression with a bright and shuffling pop confection that proudly wears the fingerprints of mentor Jonas Berggren from Ace of Base.
One hundred percent pure pop is exactly what one would expect from Ace of Base's Jonas "Joker" Berggren, who produced this song.
Penned by Ace Of Base's Joker, it is in the famed pop reggae mould with a touch of ABBA and other past Eurovision winners.
