Songfacts®:

  • This was the first single released from the LP Home and was a career comeback for Simply Red in their native Great Britain, where it peaked at #7. It had far less impact in the United States, though it did top the Dance chart.
  • This song samples the Hall & Oates single "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)." It's also remembered for its video, which was strikingly photographed at a mansion outside of Rio de Janeiro designed by Oscar Niemeyer, a renowned Brazilian architect. >>
