On the UK Singles Chart,the song reached number four and spent 10 weeks in the UK top 75. It also charted in nine other countries in Europe and Australia.
Band member Suzie Furlonger said:"It's basically about a girl who's in a relationship with someone that she knew was wrong for her at the time but allowed it anyway. He doesn't treat her well. It's her turning round to him and saying "that's it! I don't have to put up with this anymore". It's not a man-hating song - just a "don't put up with being treated badly" song." Bandmate Tisha Martin added,"Yeah,don't get us wrong - a lot of people think that we're men bashing but were not - we do like the guys!" [1]
