"Shine" became reggae group Aswad's second big hit, after 1988's "Don't Turn Around". Released in early 1994 in a radically remixed form courtesy of The Beatmasters, it was the first single from the group's album Rise And Shine. It eventually reached the Top 5 of the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #5, giving the group their second Top 5 hit. This was followed by chart success in the rest of Europe as well as in Japan and the Caribbean. "Shine" and "Don't Turn Around" remain the group's most popular hits.
