Background

Brother Beyond's album '' Get Even'' (from which the track is taken) had been released in Japan by the time the single was issued. It was repackaged for its release in the rest of the world, including the two Stock Aitken & Waterman-produced tracks, and omitting two of the band's self-penned songs from the original release.

Music video

The music video was filmed in Hong Kong with the concept that each band member has a twin.
