Critical reception

''The song was universally acclaimed across the music press. Billboard wrote, "The time has come for this internationally acclaimed producer/musician to finally crack the pop charts. By drafting the belting skills of La Trec for this rare vocal track from his fine album, "It's My Life," he offers his most viable mainstream contender to date. The track thumps with Euro-NRG intensity, while a swirl of colorful synths fleshes out the song's simple yet wickedly infectious melody. La Trec, a singer to keep a close eye on, struts across the groove with enough force to please clubheads, but with the sweet allure that popsters require."[1]

gollark: You mean automatically thingy it via genetic algorithms or something? I don't think it's that easy.
gollark: TIS-100 nodes have literally two registers, and you can't really use one of them.
gollark: Obviously, they uploaded their brain into the osmarks.net™ memeCLOUD™.
gollark: Indeed.
