In 1979, Kelly Marie recorded the song for Pye Records. The song was a sleeper hit on the Scottish club scene before breaking through nationally in the summer of 1980, reaching the top of the UK Singles Chart in September.[3] The song sold 760,000 copies in United Kingdom in 1980 alone.[4] The following year, aided by a number of remixes the song became a club hit in the United States, reaching number ten on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[5]
Re-released on the Calibre record label with a new B-side "New York at Night", it followed a rare breed of record labels who gained a chart-topping success after their debut release.[6] It was then re-released again in 1990 as a remix that was done by PWL.

The song is performed in the key of C major with a tempo of 121 beats per minute.[7]
