Background

In the summer of 1979, Luv' and their producers and songwriters (Hans van Hemert and Piet Souer) decided to leave Philips/Phonogram Records (which had released the group's records for two years). José Hoebee, Patty Brard, Marga Scheide and their team signed a 750,000 Dutch Guilder contract with CNR affiliated to Carrere Records.[1] With this new deal, Luv's challenge was to prove that after one year and a half of mainstream success, the trio could still score hit records in the music charts. The formation's first single released by Carrere was "Ooh, Yes I Do", a track composed and produced by Van Hemert. The song uses a melody inspired by the flute theme of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" (1979). It became an instant hit. A Spanish version (entitled "Si, Que Si") was recorded for the Latin American market and was a #1 single in Mexico where it reached the gold status.
