[3] The song's lyrics are about the England team of the time, featuring references to their victory at the 1966 FIFA World Cup and their attempts to repeat that success since.

The song was the duo's first single since their 1997 release "Falling", after which they had decided to end their pop career and move into television presenting.

The song entered the UK Singles chart at number three, beaten by a cover of "Light My Fire" by Will Young, who was the winner of that year's series of the reality show Pop Idol, which Ant & Dec presented, and also by the previous week's number-one single, Eminem's "Without Me".

The music video starts with Ant & Dec eating in a café watching the FIFA World Cup on a television set (which is on top of a fridge that bears a sticker advert for Tizer, who sponsored the music show CD:UK, which Ant & Dec also presented).

After first laughing it off, they quickly deem it a good idea, disguising themselves in a K6 red telephone box outside the café (a reference to Superman).
