Wilde was the most charted and biggest-selling British female soloist of the 1980s, and had ended that decade with the release of her biggest-selling album, Close, and its accompanying string of hit singles. Although the new single and album did not match that success, "It's Here" became a moderate hit in some countries.

Both the single and its B-side, "Virtual World" (an exclusive non-album track) were extended for the 12" and CD-single formats.

Critical reception

Music & Media commented, "The perfect combination. A mellow, melancholic tune, a committed vocal delivery and a good dance groove rapped up in a slick production."[1]
