Ellis-Bextor said the song took me to Latin America and Southeast Asia and all round Europe – it was already a song I associated with adventure new things and a friendly, glorious chapter of my life”. So when the star found out her song at long last debuted at No.98 on the charts over more than 20 Years after its original release she aside “It’s glorious and it’s magical, really, but it’s very hard to process, If I’m honest.” Although nothing really happened in America with the song when it came out 2002 and to have it doing new things now is really extraordinary, To have a new generation of people discover it now, people who didn’t know at all, is insane” Sophie Ellis-Bextor said.
