Recording

Some of the members of Liquid Gold did not have great belief in the song, such as Syd Twynham; however, lead singer Ellie Hope was more hopeful for its success. Syd Twynham recalled, "We didn't think it really going to happen but we were playing a residency at Caesar's Palace in Luton and the song came on and everyone was dancing so we were really surprised when it took off the way it did". ^{[2][ unreliable source?]}

Reception

Barry Lederer in Billboard was positive: "As with the first hit, this new release is, equally, energetic, uplifting and a step forward for the group." ^[3]
