Song information

The song is notable for its usage of various vocal overdubs, causing Decker, essentially, to be duetting with herself on the original studio recording. This makes the song, in its initial studio form, impossible to perform live without additional backup singers. Instead, Decker often performs what she calls a "basic" version,[1] explaining to Songfacts: "I rap the first two verses then cut to the melody for the verse before the chorus. No one really notices or minds as I cover the essential dynamics of the song. It works well."[1]

Upon its initial release in the UK in February 1987, the song was not well received, entering the bottom of the chart and falling out immediately after.[2] But in the United States, the song received heavy airplay, and enabled it to reach No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1987.[3] Due to the exposure, the song was re-released in the UK that same month; this time it became a hit, equaling the US peak of No. 4 in September.[4]

There are two different versions of the Music Video, one made later than the other, both visible on YouTube.

Packaging and title

The single artwork was designed by graphic designer Adrian Fry.[5]
