Song variations

  • Four alternate versions of the song exist. The first version, the 'UK version', is featured on the UK version of the album 5ive. It features a rap verse and a mellow beat.
  • The second version, the 'US album version', features on the US version of 5ive. This version features an alternate rap, often labelled the 'Coca-Cola Rap' in reference to the lyrics, and a totally different beat to the UK version.
  • The third version, the 'US Single version', is the version of the song released as a single. It features the beat of the US album version, but removes the rap verse and replaces it with a new verse sung by Scott.
  • The fourth version appears on the group's Greatest Hits album. It features the beat of the UK version, but cuts some lyrics, and uses some from the US Single Version.

    • Music Video

    The video for the song was directed by Nigel Dick, who had previously directed the video for the band's second single, "When the Lights Go Out". The video was recorded at the Willow Springs Raceway in California, on 23 and 24 November 1998. It was produced by David Robertson.
