"Its On You" was released in Europe in 1990 by M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy via ZYX Records. It was a commercial success in Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The song is notable for showing the early orgins of the project in Hip House style music before transitioning to strictly Eurodance and Pop in 1993. "It's On You" is also notable for being the project's first of the project's early singles to feature a Frenchman of African-descent in the frontman/rapper role. Unbeknownst to the public, the frontman/rapper was actually a lip-synch artist who was hired to mime the rap vocals of German rapper Olaf Jeglitza (O-Jay) and play the M.C. Sar character. The song also featured singing vocals from American singer Patricia Petersen (Patsy) and production from producers Juergen Wind (J. Wind) and Frank Hassas (Quickmix). By 1994, Jeglitza had been promoted to the frontman role.

A new music video was filmed in a beach/waterfront-like setting and featured rapper Jason Ammon in the video with a cameo appearance by Jeglitza.
