It was released in July 1989 as the third single from their debut album, All or Nothing (1988), as well as its American counterpart, Girl You Know It's True (1989). The single was a success, hitting the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and being certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The song also reached number one in Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands and Switzerland, number two in Ireland, the United Kingdom and West Germany, and number three in Australia.

Critical reception

Richard Lowe from Smash Hits wrote, "The Nilli's song is quite sweet. It's got a nice melody, gently plopping synths and a tasteful horn solo. Why, one could almost forgive them their trousers."[1]
