The song achieved success in many European countries. It was a top ten hit in France, Austria, Belgium (Wallonia) and Germany. However, its sales were less high than 20 Fingers' previous hit "Short Dick Man". Its chart positions were especially disappointing in UK, where it stayed on the chart for three weeks and peaked at #48. The song, which was credited to Roula as vocalist, contains explicit lyrics that refer to cunnilingus.
