Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song has a "fast-paced beat, bombastic vocals, candy-coated instrumentation, and a la-la-la chorus." He added that "several consecutive spins allow the song to eventually-and permanently-stick to the brain."[1]

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Andras Mahr & B. Falls.[2] It was shot in the autumn of 1997 in New York City, USA. The video was later published on La Bouche's official YouTube channel in August 2015. It has amassed more than 5,5 million views as of September 2021.[3]
