It peaked at number fifty-eight on the U.S. pop chart, seventeen on the R&B chart, and thirty on the dance chart. Following Janet's breakthrough in 1986 with the album Control , the song was included as a b-side on the 1986 single "When I Think of You".

Billboard called it "a lean rock number in the electronic new-music style, sparsely arranged." ^[6]

Live performances

Other than a few television appearances at the time of its release, to date, Jackson has never performed the song on any of her tours.
