Background and release



The song was recorded in Mah and the music video was shot in Praslin, Seychelles. According to the band's member Sandra Esparon, the song was released in Europe because it was already a hit in the Seychelles, and the recording company believed the song would have the potential to duplicate its success outside its home-country.
