"After writing the song, Seal felt "embarrassed by it" and "threw the tape in the corner". Seal did not present it to producer Trevor Horn until the recording sessions for Seal II. In 2015, Seal said of the song: "To be honest, I was never really that proud of it, though I like what Trevor did with the recording."

another source? I don't have a spotify account.
So, yes, this song holds a special place in my heart cause of middle school dances. However, didn't this douche beat the shit outta Heidi Klum?
That VH-1 logo gives me pangs of nostalgia.
