"I Give You My Heart" proved to be successful on the charts in Europe. Although it didn't reach the same level of success as "Coco Jamboo", it made it to the top 10 in Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. Additionally, the single was a top 20 hit in Austria, Denmark and Norway, while on the Eurochart Hot 100, it peaked at number 25 in September 1996. It charted also in the United Kingdom, where it reached number 52 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] Outside Europe, "I Give You My Heart" was a top 10 hit in Chile, where it hit number nine. It was awarded with a gold record in Germany, after 250,000 singles were sold.
British magazine Music Week rated the song three out of five, adding, "Totally uncool, but this is one of those infectious Europop anthems where no sonic trick is left unexploited. A fun outing which should follow Coco Jamboo into the charts."[2]
The accompanying music video for "I Give You My Heart" was directed by John Buche & Florian Kehrer.[3] It was released alongside the single and features the band's lineup singing at the Filmcasino theatre in Vienna, while different people watch a silent movie.[4] Buche also directed the music video for "Coco Jamboo".
