The song was a cover of a hit by Dutch singer Bonnie St Claire. Her version would get to 5 in the Netherlands, 4 in Belgium, 30 in Germany and 14 in Austria. It is a little unclear who produced Jessica Jones’ version. The single does not note a producer, but the www.discogs.com entry for the single has a note saying that it was Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange and David Gresham, however, the album from that the track comes, ‘Golden Girl’, notes that Allan Goldswain and Gresham produced the album.
