Background
The single was released on June 25, 1993, following the success of his debut single, Oh Carolina. The song was considered much of a step away from the simplicity of "Oh Carolina", and as such, the release was surrounded by controversy. A music video for the song premiered in May 1993, and in 2009, was made available via Shaggy's official VEVO account. The music video features Shaggy performing the song in an underground setting. The single peaked at #46 on the UK Singles Chart, forty-five places lower than Oh Carolina. The single was only released in the United Kingdom, however, promotional copies of the single were issued in the United States.
