Kershaw described the lyrical content as being nondescript to fill as a "guide vocal" for the production. It reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and peaked within the top 10 in countries like Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand.
An accompanying music video was made for the song and features references to Lewis Carroll's book Alice in Wonderland.
The song was covered by many artists, including Gigi D'Agostino (1999) and Jack Holiday and Mike Candys (2012).
