The song first entered the UK Singles Chart at its peak the week of August 21, 2004 (preceding the release of what would later be Prydz's hit single of that year "Call on Me"), becoming the first major charting single for both artists.[4] It achieved additional success in Europe following its re-release in 2005, particularly in France (where it was a club hit for 8 weeks) and the German-language-speaking countries of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.[5]
