The song was a moderate chart hit and with 34th place in the US and 11th in New Zealand did not build on the great successes of the previous singles I Wanna Be Down and Baby . In New Zealand the track became a surprise hit, because one week after it first entered the New Zealand top 50 at number 48, the song left the same list again to return a week later and from then on steadily increasing in sales until shortly before the top ten . The song spent a total of ten weeks in the local charts. In the US R&B charts it was enough for a top ten hit at the highest position 7, where the song was also placed in the top 100 for twenty weeks. The song was also a big club hit and reached number 4 in the US dance charts. |
