The song was later covered by Australian singer Dannii Minogue on her second album "Get into You" (1993). The song was produced by Tim Lever and Mike Percy and received a mixed reception from music critics. It was released as the album's third single in the third quarter of 1993 and reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, becoming Minogue's third top ten single and is regarded as one of her most popular singles.
