Like many early Aqua tracks, the song featured vocals from both Lene Nystrøm Rasted and Rene Dif.

It was the fourth release from the album in the UK, where it peaked at number six, the group's lowest performing single there until "Good Morning Sunshine".

British newspaper Birmingham Evening Mail noted that Aqua "got into swashbuckling mood" in the song's accompanying music video.

[1] Can't Stop the Pop deemed it "as brilliantly absurd as ever", complimenting the chorus as "terrifically catchy and – surprisingly for a song where galloping hooves form part of the beat – underpinned with a hint of melancholy.

It took over two weeks to build the setting for the video which consisted of a tropical island and a real size pirate ship surrounded by water.
