Wilde was the most charted and biggest-selling British female soloist of the 1980s, and had ended that decade with the release of her biggest-selling album, Close, and its accompanying string of hit singles. Although the new single and album did not match that success, "It's Here" became a moderate hit in some countries.

Both the single and its B-side, "Virtual World" (an exclusive non-album track) were extended for the 12" and CD-single formats.

Critical reception

Music & Media commented, "The perfect combination. A mellow, melancholic tune, a committed vocal delivery and a good dance groove rapped up in a slick production."[1]

gollark: This is maybe unhelpful and I can probably phrase it better.
gollark: Actually for lots of those, but if you're doing a % b then most of that is fixed.
gollark: You can write an integer n as xa + r for some x, a and r.
gollark: Have you ever done "long division"?
gollark: This is technically also just extracting the digits from it in base 2, I suppose.
