Production
The recording of the song was marked by a dispute between the band members, but this apparently contributed to the strength of Marie's performance.
"I was so mad when I did it. Everything about that session went wrong, we argued about the arrangement, we changed the key, I was dead tired of the song when I went in to do a guide vocal. Did it in one blast and suddenly realized, "hmm... this is it"."
—Marie Fredriksson, Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus! liner notes.
Music video
The music video for the song mostly revolved around the duo performing together in "nightclub ruins" as several dancers and groups of party-goers swayed to the song.
