Critical reception


Bill Coleman from Billboard commented in his review, "Potential smash follow-up to "The Only Way Is Up". Inspirational vocals and rhythm track are enhanced in the fab new mixes. Don't miss the dub."[2]


Music videos


Two music videos were filmed to promote the single. The first video, airing in Europe and Australasia, consists mostly of scenes of Yazz singing and accompanied by instrument players (backing vocalists can be seen from time to time too) interspersed with scenes of people dancing and hugging each other. Behind the musicians is a large board with diagrams on it similar to those on the cover of the 12-inch remix single. The second video, which was filmed for the North American market, features scenes of Yazz performing on stage with a band, and footage showing her getting ready to go on stage.
