The song was written by Ed Cobb, and performed by Gloria Jones for her 1965 single My Bad Boy's Comin' Home. The single and B-Side were both commerical failures until 1973 when it was adopted by UK Northern Soul disco scene. It then became so popular that Jones re-released, again failing to chart.

In 1981 Soft Cell took the song and made the hugely successful cover to the song, it too was not meant to be a main track, and was a melody with another cover, The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go.
