Micky Modelle remix version

Irish DJ Micky Modelle remixed the song in 2008. After Mumba heard the remix, she liked the song and re-recorded some of the vocals. She promoted the song on the Clubland Live Tour in 2008 and it was released on 25 August 2008 through All Around the World Productions.

Music video

A video for the song was filmed throughout London and Belfast in May 2008 and was premiered on 13 June 2008. The video features Micky and Mumba in a conference room with various clones of Mumba as various maps of cities in the UK moving around her, with the maps indicating that "Club energy levels are low".

Mumba and the clones of herself go out to the cities clubs where the people in the club start dancing and the club energy levels are restored.

Charts

The song failed to make any impact on the main charts, but did just make the UK Dance Chart at the lowest position of #40.
