[edit] Original recording

The song was written by Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman of the American rock band The Hooters, who recorded it for their 1993 album, Out of Body.

[edit] Re-release

The song was picked up by Ricky Martin and included on his Ricky Martin album. It was released in 2000 and featured Swedish singer Meja. This version was far more popular and reached No. 9 in the UK singles chart. As Turkey was one of the countries where Martin's popularity was at more than its peak, Ricky Martin sings the song with Sertab Erener instead of Meja in Turkish versions of the album. This version also has a video.
