Releases
It was first released as a single in 1993, charting at No. 45 in the UK and No. 19 in Ireland, where it is remembered as the record the original six man line-up of Boyzone danced to on RT's 'The Late Late Show'. A re-release the following year with new remixes by fellow Media Records act Cappella saw it reach No. 11 in Ireland, and No. 26 in Australia. In the United Kingdom, Media Records had licensed the single to Pete Waterman's PWL record label (as UK Media Records would not be launched for another couple of years), with the Cappella version becoming another Top 10 hit for PWL, when it peaked at No. 7 in the spring of 1994. The single was also a hit in Scandinavia and the US.
Critical reception
Music writer James Masterton noted in his weekly UK chart commentary, that the track "has been filling floors up and down the country". Alan Jones from 'Music Week' rated it four out of five, describing it as a "happy Italian record in Erasure-go-house style, right down to the ersatz Andy Bell contralto." In 1993, James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update called it "catchy "hey down dippy doo day-ah" chanting reissued now much more timely smash bound scampering Italo Hi-NRG". In 1994, he deemed it an "infectious Italo Hi-NRG galloper".
