Simone recorded the song in 1958 for her debut album, Little Girl Blue. The track remained relatively obscure until 1987, when it was used in a UK television commercial for Chanel No. 5 perfume. It was subsequently released as a single and became one of Simone's biggest hits. A claymation music video was produced by Aardman Animations and directed by Peter Lord.
