It was released as a single from his album Do You Feel It and became a summer hit, topping the charts in France and Belgium.
In France, in 1989, TF1 had sponsored Kaoma's "Lambada", which was huge success presented by the TV channel as the summer hit.
TF1 decided to repeat the experience seeking a new song combining exoticism and suggestive dance.
