It was remixed by Ron Saint Germain and the music video was also released.[2][3] The song peaked at number seventy-nine in the United Kingdom. It became a minor club hit because of the B-side, "Big Thing" (a non-album track, written and produced by Blue Zone) that was picked up by DJs on Kiss-FM. The single sold 10,000 copies in a week.[4]
