The longer 12" version features additional production by frequent collaborator Harold Faltermeyer, and incorporates a harder rock edge.

The formats differed between nations—in the UK for example, the song was only released on 7" by Casablanca, and 12" (the extended version from the On The Radio album) by Columbia.

Comedian Eddie Murphy recorded a parody version of the song as it might be performed by exercise guru Richard Simmons and Our Gang actor Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas.

The song was produced by Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, and peaked at number 13 in its second week at the UK Singles Chart, on June 12.

The single marked the first collaboration between producers Mike Stock and Matt Aitken since the split of the famous '80s production triumvirate with Pete Waterman.

"[42] Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "All we have to say is that we would have paid any price to have witnessed the recording session for the Kym Mazelle/Jocelyn Brown duet "No More Tears".

[47] On August 12, 2008, JMCA issued the 7-track digital EP No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Amber ("This Is Your Night", "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sexual (Li Da Di)") and Zelma Davis (formerly of C+C Music Factory).

This version, which features modern remixes for today's dance clubs, includes a vocal showdown between the two artists that builds to a dramatic conclusion.
