Contents

The song is about a woman who goes to a nightclub and doesn't want to start a relationship, she just wants to dance. The chorus samples the 1983 song "Change" by British rock group Tears for Fears.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the German act "returns to the festive hip-house sound of earlier hits." He called it "spirited" [1] and added that A-side mixes "should entice mainstreamers, while more adventurous, acid-splashed versions on the flip could generate alternative buzz." [2]
