A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by American director Jim Swaffield. Fox personally selected a then-unknown Jennifer Lopez as a dancer in the video.[1]
The singer initially objected to the "hurt me, hurt me" lyric when first presented with the song by Full Force. She was concerned that the line — which referenced a New York club chant used by patrons calling for more bass — would be misunderstood as something sexually violent.[1] Her fears were realised, when some radio stations in America refused to play the song, believing it to be about S&M.[1] Fox instead insisted the song was actually attacking the expectation by some men that a woman should sleep with her date in exchange for a night out.[1]
Fox blamed the track's lack of chart success in America on record label politics and a lack of promotion, after BMG declined to extend its distribution deal with her UK record company, Jive Records.[1]
