It peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart,[1] number five in the Republic of Ireland and number seven in Jessy's native Belgium. The song also peaked at number twenty five in Switzerland. The second single, "Over You" achieved moderate success, peaking at number thirty-five on the UK Singles Chart[2] and eighteen on Irish Singles Chart, respectively.
