Background and release

[edit]

The song was written by Danielle Brisebois, Wayne Rodrigues and produced by Oliver Leiber, who had a role producing Abdul's debut album Forever Your Girl. Abdul debuted the song on the Ryan Seacrest Radio KIIS-FM show. The song uses an autotuner and electronic synthesizers over an uptempo electronic beat. The song was originally an unreleased song cut from Kylie Minogue's ninth album Body Language (2003). This is not the first time that Minogue and Abdul have exchanged tracks. In 2000, Minogue added the Abdul penned single "Spinning Around" to her 2000 album Light Years.[1]
