[edit] Music video

On the October 26, 2007 the video premiered on AOL music. The video features John Legend. The video starts with Estelle walking down the street whilst at the club a bouncer (John Legend) is stopping people from going in the club. Estelle walks into the club and gets a smile from John. She dances with her man. Whilst we see them in the night club shots of Estelle sitting on some steps are shown. At the end the man and Estelle go home but the man only got a kiss from Estelle even though he expected to get more. The video was released onto UK iTunes.

[edit] Charts

The single was released on November 19, 2007 in the United Kingdom, but failed to chart inside the UK Top 100 Singles with download sales alone, due to a variety of reasons including the poor promotion it received on radio and TV channels.
