The song became their biggest hit in the United States when it reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was less successful in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart, lower than the two singles from Twisted that preceded it. The band does not consider the song one of their best and have often seemed irked that what they see as a throwaway pop song gave them their biggest hit.[1]

The song was heard in TV shows and movies including Second Noah, Family Guy, Dating the Enemy, One Day, Hindsight and the trailer for the 1996 remake of Flipper, and the video appearing on an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head. The song was also featured in a 1996 episode of British soap opera Hollyoaks.
