It is Masterboy's most successful single to date and is generally deemed as one of band's signature songs. It is characterized by a "rhythmic and swift music" finding its inspiration from the Eurodance-style which was popular at the time.[1] In 2003 and 2006, the song was re-released in remix versions, but was much less successful. The artwork of the remixes used the same picture made by Günther Blum, but with different colours (orange, blue).

Critical reception

James Hamilton from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update described the song as a "routine cheesy German galloper with usual ingredients".[2]
