The track was taken as the second single from Visage's third album, Beat Boy, and became the band's last single before they split up in 1985. The single was a commercial failure and did not chart.
Music video
The music video was directed by Jean-Claude Luyat and shot in Africa, as a part of a full-length video incorporating songs from The Anvil and Beat Boy. It pictures dancing tribes and Steve Strange traveling across savanna.[1] The clip was later included on the Visage video album in 1986.
