Not everyone wanted it out there. Producer Pete Waterman thought it was the wrong pick, wandering too far from the formula that had made "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" such a smash. The charts split the difference: it reached 14 in the UK, 31 in Australia and 61 in Germany, and over at Smash Hits, Chris Heath reckoned it was pretty good.
