“He’s Gonna Step on You Again”, lançada originalmente por John Kongos em 1971, entrou nas paradas do Reino Unido em 22 de maio daquele ano e permaneceu 14 semanas, alcançando a posição nº 4.
A gravação original de Kongos utilizou um laço de fita com percussão africana, sendo citada no Guinness Book of Records como a primeira música a empregar um sample.
O sucesso internacional da versão de Kongos se estendeu à África do Sul, Austrália e diversos países europeus, além de alcançar posições de destaque nas paradas norte‑americanas.
Em 1990, o grupo britânico Happy Mondays fez um cover da canção, intitulada “Step On”, que também se tornou um hit nas listas musicais.
