[3] "New Beginning" (as it is very often more simply referred) was originally recorded a year earlier by Force 8 - who were actually pop group The Dooleys under an assumed name.

[5] The video for the single depicts the group performing the song in a Metropolis-type setting backed by dancers and drummers - due to the heavy drum sound on the track.

The song was notable for its full and lavish production and multi-layered vocal work and received much praise from critics as well as becoming very popular on radio.

[9] The group promoted the song on several television shows including Top of the Pops, which Preston recalls as being embarrassing as her costume went missing.

[10] "New Beginning" was followed up by a cover of the Stephen Stills song "Love The One You're With" and featured on the group's final studio album, Writing on the Wall, which was released at the end of the year.

On the Writing on the Wall CD re-issue in 2004, a largely instrumental extended version of the song was included as a bonus track.
