After the album's lead single, "Tren de Amor", only managed to enter the Top 100 in the UK, "Every Woman Wants To" met similar commercial success, and peaked at #95 in the UK, staying on the chart for the one week. This would be Stewart's last chart appearance in the United Kingdom, excluding the 2011 re-entry of his best selling hit "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off".[2]
A promotional video was filmed for the single.[3]
The B-Side for the single "Holes in My Jeans" was taken from What Becomes a Legend Most. It was written by Stewart and Scher.[1] The "New-New Mix" remix of "Every Woman Wants To" was created by the American producer Bryan "Chuck" New.[4]
Reception
editUpon release, Music & Media commented: "Bouncy, brassy dance material that is less than spectacular but nevertheless highly programmable".[5] Peter Kinghorn of the Newcastle Evening Chronicle wrote: "This rippling soul is even better than his big "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off".[6]
