Despite being a modest club hit in Europe and a dismal showing on the German Pop Chart (peaking at number 93), the single and its recognizable melody would help fuel the trio to success in the United States, where the single reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart the week of July 14, 2001, where it held that position for four weeks,[1] and eventually become the number-one Dance Club Play Song for 2001. It would also be the first of two number ones on the Dance Club Play Chart for the trio, as their followup "Blame" also reached that position in 2002.

The single would later be released in 2009 as "Keep Control Plus" through Kontor Records (and Ultra Records in the United States), featuring new mixes by Fedde Le Grand and Gregor Salto. This version got as far as #77 on the German Pop Chart.

In 2020, 20 years after its original release, a remix was published through Kontor Records by the Ukrainian group ARTBAT.
