The song was covered by Laura Branigan and was the first single taken from the self-titled album that she released in 1990. However, it was only a minor hit in the United States, where a sexy music video for the song received little airplay. Branigan can be seen performing the song on her second videocassette and laserdisc concert release, Laura Branigan in Concert, which was filmed in 1990 at a tour stop in Atlantic City and initially televised as part of the syndicated TV series SRO: In Concert.
