The song reached the number 3 spot on the UK Singles Chart. It became a hit in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where the ensemble toured extensively.

Content

The track is marked by its distinctive sampling of a woman's voice saying "I've noticed you around / I find you very attractive / Would you go to bed with me?". The lyrics with almost identical wording were originally used as part of a psychological study conducted in 1978.[2]
