[edit] Song information
The track was produced by Italian DJ and producer Cristiano Spiller in 1999 as an instrumental, and was included in the Mighty Miami EP. It is mainly built upon samples from "Love Is You", a disco song originally performed by Carol Williams.
In order to make the track more palatable for airplay, as the instrumental is somewhat repetitive, Positiva asked British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, formerly with indie rock band theaudience to provide vocals for the song. Boris Dlugosch produced the vocal portions added to the track. Sharon Scott is the back-up vocalist.
The track has been remixed by Boris Dlugosch and Michi Lange (BMR), Todd Terry, Solar, Ramon "Ray Roc" Checo and Ernest St. Laurent.

[edit] Music video
The video for the song shows Spiller and Sophie missing each other repeatedly in Bangkok. Spiller signs autographs and generally finds his height makes life there difficult; Sophie singing wistfully at various tables in bars and taking a Tuk-tuk ride (while Spiller just about fits into a taxicab).
