The film itself is not particularly well-known, but the soundtrack formed an important part during Aqua's (then Joyspeed) early days. It is often credited with helping to start their career. The young producers Søren Rasted and Claus Norreen had won a contest and were hired to produce the soundtrack. For some of the songs they hired the then club DJ René Dif. The three had previously not been associated with each other, but their getting along well whilst making the soundtrack made them decide to work together again on a future project. The future project would ultimately eventually lead to the creation and success of Aqua, with Lene Nystrøm as their lead vocalist.
