The track features the vocals of singer Giuditta Gazza, whose lyrical "do-do-do's" make up the song's most chorus line, with an Ibiza-influenced guitar beat, done over a pair of sampled tracks "Streets of Your Town" by the Australian pop group the Go-Betweens[citation needed] and "Listen to What the Man Said" by Paul McCartney & Wings.[1]
For the song's video and promotional campaign during its chart run, Egyptian-German model Sabrina Elahl is featured in the music video instead of Giuditta.
