Original
In 2008, Mumba re-recorded the track for All Around The World Records. Prior to recording, she went on the Clubland tour to promote a comeback with a new album. Without a dance song to perform on tour, Micky Modelle offered to remix the song for Mumba. After the tour Mumba liked the song so much she pleaded with her record company to release it as her comeback single (8 years after original release), Mumba won the fight and the single was released in August 2008.

Music Video

Mumba shot the video for her comeback single during the second week of May. The video was shot in London and Belfast. It reportly cost a huge amount of money as the video has a very complicated James Bond theme.

The video premiered on Clubland TV on the 13 of June. The video begins with Mickey Modelle using a touchscreen, then we see multiple Mumbas singing. Mumba then leaves and goes to club.

Release

Mumba performed the remix at the Clubland tour which had numerous dates in Ireland and England.

To promote the single Mumba performed at G-A-Y on the 24 of May. She sang the Gotta Tell You Remix and her old hit Always Come Back to Your Love.

The single was eventually released digitally on the 25th August 2008, and failed to chart.
