A canção marcou o primeiro sucesso do Culture Club após os dois singles anteriores, "White Boy" e "I'm Afraid of Me", terem tido desempenho péssimo nas paradas do Reino Unido, atingindo apenas as posições 114 e 100.
De acordo com Boy George, esse hit foi a última chance da banda de conseguir um contrato de álbum, tornando sua ascensão crítica para a carreira do grupo.
A aparição do grupo no programa Top of the Pops foi cancelada no vácuo no dia anterior à transmissão, pois Shakin' Stevens desistiu de aparecer, o que acabou catapultando a canção para o primeiro lugar no Reino Unido.
O sucesso repentino fez com que o estilo andrógino de Boy George e sua ambiguidade sexual acabassem tornando manchetes nos jornais logo após a apresentação na televisão.
Nos Estados Unidos, a música ficou presa na segunda posição da parada Billboard Hot 100 por três semanas, impedida de chegar ao topo apenas pelo_single _"Billie Jean"_ de Michael Jackson.
Boy George esclareceu em 2007 que a letra não se referia apenas ao baterista Jon Moss, seu namorado na época, mas sim a todos os rapazes que ele namorou naquele período de sua vida.
