Charts

edit

While the video was a top ten pop hit in Sweden, the album from which it came did not fare as well likely due to the previously released tracks on the album. The song did however, reach No. 16 on the Billboard Dance chart and was his most recent pop hit in the United States, reaching No. 61 on the Hot 100 in 1989.[3]

Video

edit

The video portrays Schilling on horseback, with Müller-Pi dancing and singing in a white dress.[4]
