It interpolates the chorus of Airto Moreira's 1972 song " Tombo In 7/4", as well as samples the drum rhythm from Moreira's " Celebration Suite". The song was a hit throughout Europe, reaching number-one in Hungary and the top 10 in at least 12 countries. It was released on in Germany as the lead single from their debut album of the same name (1997).
