Album Notes & Community Reviews

A sleek, infectious integration of nu-disco and French house that dominated European dancefloors and charts. Its famously ruthless music video, featuring the artist sabotaging fellow dance competitors, perfectly complemented the track's glittering, upbeat pop production and sassy vocal delivery. The song became her biggest international solo hit and a classic of 2000s club-pop.
