Facts from the source article.
Background
Kris Kirk from Melody Maker described the song as 'a jazzy, dreamy swayer of a dance track that's certain to be a summer hit, despite the fact I nearly dropped off.' He noted that Paris, an ex-Spirit of Watts vocalist, 'drops the hot gospel and goes supercool secular' on the track. Three music videos were made for the single. One UK video shows Mica in a luxurious dimly lit room daydreaming about her lover, shown on a screen of changing pictures, while a man outside plays a flugel horn. Another US video was filmed in California, featuring clips from her previous video 'Breathe Life into Me' and Mica wearing several casual outfits, as well as appearing on beach rocks as depicted from her US album art cover. A third US video shows Mica performing with her band.
