The song was originally released at the end of 1990, when it only managed to reach #53 on the UK Singles Chart. It was not until the remix by Youth in August 1991 that it hit #4 on the same chart and became her biggest hit to date. The track was used in UK advertisements for the Amiga 500 computer, which added to its popularity. It was the 18th best-selling single of 1991, outselling many number ones and twos in the year-end chart.
Zoë re-recorded the song in 2008 with her folk band Mama. This version is available on their debut CD, Crow Coyote Buffalo.
Christine Anu version
In May 2000, Christine Anu released a version of the song as the first single from her second studio album, Come My Way. The song peaked at number 26 on the ARIA singles chart and remained in the top 50 for 15 weeks.
