In France the single was followed up by compilation Ultimate which in addition to the new remix contained edited versions of the band's hits previously issued on The Magic Of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits and Fantastic Boney M., an extended version of single "Kalimba De Luna" from Kalimba de Luna - 16 Happy Songs and two tracks from 1993's More Gold - 20 Super Hits Vol. II.
