In addition to their co-production chores, Chris contributes Fairlight programming on this recording, while Neil provides support on keyboards and vocoder. The song itself had been a minor pop hit—but a major disco/dance hit—in 1979 for Yvonne Elliman. It had also been a minor hit (in the U.K. and Belgium respectively) for both Hazel Dean and Viola Wills in 1989, the year before Liza recorded it. Liza's version became the fourth and final single from Results, the album that the Boys produced for her in 1989. It proved (yet again) a minor hit, at least in the U.K.
