Song information [edit]

Written and produced by the same team behind "Put Your Records On", the single did not fare nearly as well as its predecessor on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 40, 38 places lower, and spending only two weeks inside the chart. However, the single managed to become Rae's second consecutive airplay hit, peaking inside the UK airplay top ten and propelling her self-titled album back into the UK Albums Chart.

Rae performed this song and "Like a Star" on NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The song also featured in the CBS drama series NCIS's the fourth season episode "Smoked".

The song's remix entered the Mexican Digital Sales Chart at number 72.[1]
