Song history

When record producer Hans van Hemert and Luv' planned to leave Phonogram Records[1] in 1979, the label decided as a counterattack to release Who Do You Wanna Be only in the Netherlands. This song was taken from the group's first opus With Luv' and later included on a Greatest Hits album. The girl group didn't promote the song as they focused on their Carrere releases (Ooh, Yes I Do and True Luv'). That's why it failed to top the music charts.

Cover version

In 1979, Irish pop group Gina, Dale Haze and the Champions released a cover version of this track. This followed a cover version of You're the Greatest Lover (also originally by Luv') - both singles made the Irish top ten.[2]

gollark: It's actually really simple.
gollark: Maybe tomorrow.
gollark: It only replicates in one direction and causes much lag.
