  • When this hit UK #1, Modjo had not released any other songs.
  • The lyrics are about a guy who meets a girl at a disco. The words are very simple, which the group claims is because this was their first effort and neither of them are good at writing lyrics.
  • The B-side of the single is an acoustic version of the same song.
