A remix of the song, the Frankie & David Treat Mix, appears on Jackson's second remix compilation, janet. Remixed.

Jackson performed the song on her janet. Tour and was the dedication song for the country of Taiwan for her 2011 Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour.

It was a moderate success in other countries reaching the top twenty in the U.K. and top thirty in Australia.
