Her version, produced by David Tickle, charted at number six in the United Kingdom, number 10 in Hungary, and number 11 in Australia; in the latter country, the song is certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week rated the song three out of five, adding, "Same formula and very likely the same success for Carlisle. Radio is already picking up on this Rick Nowels-penned track."[2]

Music video

The accompanying music video was directed by David Nelson. It shows Belinda in Italy, dancing in the fountain, and a man in the bathroom, presumably her ex-boyfriend. It shows her and the man at the pool, with Belinda wearing a blue jacket at one scene. At the end of the music video, she and the man, kisses as the crowd of spectators watch.[3]
