The initial version of the track was actually "too rock," forcing the producers to dial it back by adding their signature syncopated percussion and liquid chords—elements that would eventually influence the UK garage and broken beat scenes.
The "Mood II Swing Extended Vocal Mix" became the definitive version of the track, praised for its ability to last for "Donna Summer lengths" without becoming repetitive.
It reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and became a massive international hit, peaking at number four in the UK and reaching number one in Italy.
